Towcester Bags Am Race 5

270Mtrs (D4)

Stake: $589

CHOICES NANDO (3) is yet to win in six starts but been in the minors. Must come into calculations. CHOICES PANTER (5) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 3.5 lengths (16.73) at this track. Has ability and can measure up. CLAY GOUVNER (2) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (16.82) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. SWIFT TEXAS (6) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 270m in a D4 at this track. Sure to be most competitive again.
