Swindon Bags Race 9

Race 9

Stake: $740

RACE HOME RORY (5) has a strong overall record having six wins and seven places from 19 starts but was out of the money last time when fourth (15.84) over 262m at this track. Looks well placed here and should prove hard to beat again. ASHWAY FRED (2) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (15.68) at this track behind Ivys Holly in a D3. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Hard to beat again. GORTKELLY GARTH (1) hit the frame with a close-up second two runs back then claimed a D4 by a head at this track over 262m (15.87) last time. Faces a stiffer grade but latest effort hard to fault. RIOT CO MARTIN (4) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.

Good effort after racing on the speed to score in a D4 by head at this track over 262m (15.87). Deserved winner last time after finishing in the money three on end prior to that. Can make it two on the trot.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 262m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
