Swindon Bags Race 4

Race 4

Stake: $853

CONFEY RANGE (2) was a last start winner (28.97) from Box 5 at this track. Has a solid record from this box including four wins and a minor placing. Hard to go past. MENDIP SALLY (6) hit the frame with a narrow second two runs back then claimed an A5 by 0.8 lengths at this track over 476m (28.80) last time. This tougher but in form and expected to play a big role again. CATUNDA STELLA (5) jumped from this trap last time and also the same course and distance when a 5.5 lengths second (29.04) in an A4. Key chance on best form. TADHGS HERO (1) chased the lead early from the inside and boxed on well to finish third, beaten 3.5 lengths (29.05) at this track in an A4 over 476m. Key chance in this line up.

Form has been steadily improving. Last start finished third over 476m at this track in 29.05 behind Cest Ca. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Good effort to score last start by a nose over 476m at this track in 28.97, beating Melodys Glow. Not among the main chances this time.

Finished sixth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 476m in an A4 at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished 4th over 476m at this track beaten 2 lengths (29.11) behind Black Scorpion in an A4 on April 4. Should be around the mark.
