Towcester Bags Race 6

Bgbf British Bred Derby - Heat 1

Stake: $1,785

VENETIAN WILL (5) boasts a consistent overall record including two wins from 10 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when second (29.86) over 500m at Hove. Has the ability and looks a key chance this line-up. ROMEO BIG SHOT (1) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors four on end. Last start rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (29.87) at this track over 500m. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Overdue and gets his chance. SPIRIDON ZELUS (6) boasts a strong record this journey here with 20 wins and 25 minors from 60 tries. In the money last time at this track (29.50) in an A2, finishing a 2 length second. Looks a key chance on best figures. SALACRES BORIS (4) placed last time and cannot be ignored.

Good effort after racing on the speed to score in a D4 by head at this track over 270m (16.80). This looks too tough.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 270m in a D3 at this track. May find this a bit too tough.

Form of late has been fair. Unplaced two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A2 at this track over 500m (29.50), beaten 2 lengths. In reasonable form and should play a big role.
