Towcester Bags Am Race 2

270Mtrs (D2)

Stake: $624

GALLANT CHIEF (3) finished in the minors last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 270m at this track, taking a D3 in a handy 16.04. Expected to push the clock again here. FABULOUS SHELBY (2) was game in defeat off a low draw at the latest outing, finishing second and beaten a neck (16.34) behind Romeo Express at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Can measure up. MIND THE MOUSE (1) will take beating coming off a quick 16.11 win at this track over 270m. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. NEAT DIRECTION (5) placed last time at this track and distance - worth some thought.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 3.5 lengths third (16.19) over 270m at this track last time. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 270m. Won't find this much tougher. Right in the mix.
