Towcester Bags Race 3

500Mtrs (Or)

Stake: $1,224

VENETIAN LAD (6) drew trap 4 last start and was game in defeat when a close third, 1.75 lengths from Mohawk Spirit (29.71) at Central Park. Likely to be in the finish again. BACK TO BLACK (5) finished a 4 length second last start over 500m at this track in a strong 29.60. Fast run latest and rates a key player again. BOMBAY PUZZLE (2) has a strong record here with eight wins and 10 placings from 21 starts. Comes off a (29.98) win last time, scoring by a nose in an A4 over 500m at this track. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. BALLYMAC KENZIE (4) is new to this track but can play a major role.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just half a length into second over 480m at Monmore. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

Solid performance to score in an A2 by 4 len at Central Park over 491m (29.67). Other runners look much more appealing.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish second over 500m at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.
