Towcester Bags Race 12

Race 12

Stake: $852

SALACRES FRANKIE (1) was game in defeat off the inside draw last start, finishing second and beaten 2 lengths (30.06) behind Fabulous Shona at this track. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Top prospect. CARD COUNTER (3) comes off an average effort last start when fifth at this track over 500m behind Glencoe Queen (31.19) in an A5. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has ability and is one of the better chances. EL PREZ BANDIT (6) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (30.35) at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and seven minor placings. One of the main contenders. ROMEO RAIDER (4) is a last-start placegetter from this box - in the mix again.

Comments

Racing consistently without winning, finishing in the minors three on end. Last start flew out of the boxes and sizzled early but gathered in and finished second (30.06) at this track. Overdue and expected to feature again.

Form slipped last start when she finished last in a D3 on November 28 over 270m at this track behind Skilled Prince beaten 5.5 lengths (16.52). Can't recommend against this lot.

Finished sixth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 500m in an A5 at this track. The recent effort suggests he is a genuine hope.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a scorching early split, weakening late to finish a 4.5 lengths fourth (30.35) over 500m at this track. Has ability and looks a winning hope.
