Towcester Bags Race 2

Betway 460

Prize Money: $1,488

START THE ENGINE (2) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by a nose at this track in a handy 26.64 beating DROOPYS PIONEER. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. One of the key runners again. COPPICE FERRY (4) was an impressive last start winner, scoring a convincing 26.64 win and a new Best time this course and distance. Harder here but expected to measure up. ARTHUR PORTION (3) jumped from the rails last start and recorded her maiden success by 2.5 lengths at this track over 460m (27.06). Must include in calculations. DROOPYS PIONEER (5) placed in slick time last start - worth some thought.

Not seen at best last start when she finished 4th in a OR on July 5 over 460m at this track behind Start The Engine beaten 5 lengths (27.04). Tempted to look elsewhere.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a nose over 460m at this track in a handy 26.64, beating Droopys Pioneer. That last win was in the quickest time on the card. Stick with him.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 5 length third (27.02) over 460m at this track last time. Hasn't been far away. Don't underestimate.
