Swindon Bags Race 9

Race 9

Stake: $840

MENDIP SALLY (6) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (29.03) at this track behind Maglass Sydney in an A5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. One of the contenders. PARTIES CHOICE (1) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (29.04) in an A5 at this track. Solid record at the distance winning three races. The form out of her last race has been franked. Likely to be about the mark. SWIFT ZELOUS (3) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 29.14 beating Ballyregan Tara. Deserves serious consideration again. CLONGEEL BELLE (2) is a last start placegetter in an A5, jumping from this trap and finishing a 2.25 lengths third over 476m at this track. Boasts a strong record off this same box, including five wins and nine placings from 16 starts. Rates a key player.
