Swindon Bags Race 12

Race 12

Stake: $802

FLICKERING KING (6) finds it hard to win but has a consistent overall record, having placed 20 of 42 career runs. Has been in the money the last three starts, the latest when third (28.88) at this track. Top chance in this line up. CLASSIC WALTZ (2) was unplaced two starts ago then improved to score last time out at this track over 476m (29.00). In winning form and worth following up despite rising a grade. UNLIKELY NANCY (3) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (16.01) at this track behind Porters Pet in a D3. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to be in the finish again. FLICKERING FLAME (1) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Good performance after racing on the speed to score in an A7 by 1.5 len at this track over 476m (29.00). Can make it back to back wins.

Finished sixth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 262m in a D3 at this track. Racing well enough to play a big role.

Has only been in the placings once from eight starts. Finished fifth last time out over 480m at Enniscorthy. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
