Swindon Bags Race 9

Race 9

Stake: $715

CATUNDA STELLA (5) will have admirers after placing last time out. SMELLY NELLIE (4) turned in a plain run last time when sixth at this track over 476m behind Baggios Nikita (29.66) in an A5. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and seven minor placings to her credit. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. BAWNFUNE BELLE (2) was narrowly beaten last time, jumping from this same trap when a nose second in an A5 over 476m at this track. Has the ability and expected to go close. HOMEBOUND BLANKO (3) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Fifis Lad (29.14) in an A5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings nine times from 12 attempts. Will give a great sight again.

Form of late has been fair. Unplaced two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at her latest appearance in an A5 at this track over 476m (29.29), beaten a head. Going okay and is the testing material.

Quickly away last start and finished runner-up over 476m at this track. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Turned in a better effort over 476m at this track last start, finishing second behind Fifis Lad in an A5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. This appears within his reach.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 0.8 lengths into second over 476m at this track. Sure to be thereabouts again.
