Towcester Bags Race 1

500Mtrs (A4)

Stake: $633

GRAFTON LUCKY (4) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a close-up third then scored by 3 lengths in an A5 last time at this track over 500m (29.70). Up a level this time but hard to knock latest effort. Stick with her. FABULOUS AURORA (3) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fifth (30.11) in an A4 at this track. Solid record at the distance winning seven races. One of the main contenders. GAFFER (1) missed the frame last time but had been racing well prior to that, winning an A5 three back before a placing at this track the following run. Has the ability and expected to do much better. SWIFT ALIEN (5) can measure up with the right run.

Comments

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up fifth (30.62) at this track over 500m. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.

Showed a hot pace early and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fourth this track in 30.04. Is a danger.

Got back early in the race last start when sixth over 500m at this track. Before that won by a neck at this track (29.96) beating Makeit Magical in an A5 on June 21. Hard to recommend this time.
