Towcester Bags Race 11

Bgbf British Bred Derby - Heat 6

Stake: $1,785

ROMEO ABILITY (5) is generally an honest type in the frame at seven of 27 starts but missed the placings last time when sixth (29.89) over 500m at Hove. Strike rate this course strong having won seven of 10 tries. Rates highly here and will go close. KEEFILL ROCKY (3) had been in great form but was out of the placings last run, finishing fourth (28.76) in a OR3 at Doncaster. Generally safe to begin but was always well back last time. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Should be in this for a long way. COPPICE LOTTIE (4) scored last time out by 2 lengths at Oxford over 450m (27.10). Yet to fire here from two runs. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from three attempts. Bold showing expected again. DICK TURPIN (6) boasts a solid strike-rate from this box.

Comments

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only fourth over 450m at Doncaster in 28.76. Strongly fancied last time but missed the frame and was beaten a fair way. Can atone.
