Towcester Saturday 22nd August 2026 Afternoon Pgr Meeting

Stake: $1,022

MAKEIT POPPY (2) has hit the frame here at the last two runs, most recently finishing third beaten a neck (27.34). Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to her credit. Winning claims. ESSJAY SONIA (6) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (27.36) in a B3 at this track. Solid record at the distance winning three races. Key runner on best form. EAGLES DREAM (4) did a good job to finish third last time out over 500m at this track (30.22) in an A5, the second top-three finish on the trot. Expected to bounce back to best. DINTON FRED (1) followed a minor placing two runs ago with a plain effort last time to finish fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths, in a B2 at this track over 460m (27.44). Deserves another chance this easier class.

Good effort when resuming last start, finishing third (27.34) over 460m at this track in a B3. Has been in the money every second-up start and and can find winning form this time.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 460m at this track. May find this a bit too tough.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 460m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
