Towcester Bags Race 5

Race 5

Prize Money: $872

BARAN TOMBSTONE (3) has been out of the placings last two but shapes well for this if he can recapture his sharp win a few runs back, getting around this track over 460m in 26.94. Smart win three back and looks a key chance here. BALLYMAC MINELLA (2) broke from this trap and finished in the placings when a 6 length third in fast time (27.41) in a B2 at this track. Expected to feature. TRAPSTYLE TOUCAN (1) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a narrow second then scored by 1.3 lengths in a B3 last time at this track over 460m (27.34). Goes up a notch but can measure up with a repeat of latest. ESSJAY ROBIN (4) has been in the placings at his last two runs, most recently when third (27.36) in a B2 over 460m at this track.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only third over 460m at this track in 27.41. Racing well and can find winning form again.

Missed the frame three back but has since scored back to back wins, the latest a B3 at this track (27.29). This tougher again and prefer the place again.
