Swindon Bags Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $768

STRIDEAWAY HONEY (6) is a promising type who notched her 18th career success when too good (15.63) at this track last time. Form at the trip sound including eight wins. Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. OODE LALLY (2) was prominent early off a low draw but weakened and dropped out when 5th over 476m at this track in A4 company. Worth another chance. FIVESINGLEHANDS (1) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (15.72) at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Expected to feature again. SALLAGH FINN (5) was in the money last start and poses a threat again.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished 5th over 476m at this track beaten 8 lengths (29.44) behind Ashway Cruiser in an A4 on July 7. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 262m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish second over 262m at this track. Racing well enough to fully test this line-up.

Solid effort after taking an early lead to score in a D1 by nose at this track over 262m (15.63). Looks well placed and should be tough to beat.
