Towcester Bags Race 6

500Mtrs (A4)

Stake: $633

SALACRES MERKEL (1) is rarely out of the finish, recording 23 places from 35 starts. Finished second (30.22) at this track last time making it three minors on end. Has a good record at this journey. Likely to be in the finish again. CROSSFIELD EDEL (2) followed a moderate fifth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish sixth, beaten 18 lengths, in an A3 at this track over 500m (31.12). Well placed this class and looks a key runner based on best form. SALACRES SYDNEY (5) was sent out at big odds from this same trap last time but ran above himself when a 2 length second (30.02) at this track in A4. Rates a key player. FRANKTON FERN (4) form at this distance reads well.

Hit the ground running with a sizzling early sectional but gathered in late to finish a 4.5 lengths fifth (30.24) at this track. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Missed the frame three back but has since scored back to back wins, the latest an A5 at this track (29.89). Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

Comments

Started big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a sizzling early spilt before being grabbed late to finish second (30.02) at this track over 500m. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.
