Swindon Bags Race 3

Christmas Owners' Bonus Series Fifteenth Trophy

Stake: $945

WESSEX HEADFORD (4) missed the hat-trick last start when fifth and beaten 6 lengths (16.11) last time at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Form from his last run is proving strong. Can make amends. RIVERSIDE BEST (6) has a strong record this track and trip with three wins and two placings from eight starts. Missed the frame latest (16.22) when fourth over 262m at this track in a D2. Suited here and expected to run well. TEEKAY FOUR (2) goes very well this trip starting seven times for three wins and two minors. Comes off a (15.65) win last time, scoring by 1.3 lengths in a D3 over 262m at this track. Looks one of the chances. TADHGS HERO (1) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when fifth (15.99), beaten 2.25 lengths.

In the money two back then well backed last start but he finished 5th over 262m at this track beaten 2.25 lengths (15.99) behind Castell Queen in a D3 on December 16. Is a danger.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 476m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Happy to risk in this.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 262m. No easier here and looks up against it.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when fourth and beaten 8 lengths (16.22) in a D2 over 262m at this track. Forgive the latest run. Big chance to make amends.
