Swindon Bags Race 11

Race 11

Stake: $623

YOUARETHEREASON (3) failed to come into contention last start at this track, but prior to that won by 1.75 lengths at this track (15.41) beating HOMEWARD HERO in a D2 on November 2. Should be very hard to beat this time. WESSEX HEADFORD (4) has been racing well lately, making it two on end when saluting at this track last time over 262m in (15.51). Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Leading player again. HOMEWARD HERO (1) has a strong record this track and trip with 12 wins and eight placings from 26 starts. Missed the frame latest (15.90) when fourth over 262m at this track in a D2. Looks well placed here and among the chances. BALLINABOLA ELSA (2) is coming off a 5 length fifth but in a handy 28.75 at this track over 476m. Harder here but expected to measure up.
