Towcester Bags Race 8

500Mtrs (Or)

Stake: $1,364

BLUEJIG BARON (4) finished well back at Perry Barr last time when a 6 length sixth (28.84) but scored four back at Hove (29.28). Has a good winning strike rate at this journey. Boasts a strong record from this draw with 14 wins and two minor placings from 24 starts. Key runner on his best form. SALACRES TIPSTER (2) boasts a strong record this journey here with 11 wins and 14 minors from 32 tries. Below best last time at this track (29.89) in a OR, finishing a 6 length fifth. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. BODELL BUCKS (3) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 3.5 lengths at this track in a handy 15.94 beating Salacres Negocio. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Expected to measure up again. GRAIGUES DOWNEY (1) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 500m at this track (29.89) in a OR. Strong record at this track and trip with 11 wins and 14 placings from 32 starts. Well placed and should feature.

Good effort to score last start by 3.5 lengths over 270m at this track in 15.94, beating Salacres Negocio. Others hold stronger claims.

Comments

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a sensational early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish sixth (28.84) at Perry Barr over 480m. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
