Swindon Bags Race 12 - Race 12

WESSEX MERLIN (1) goes very well at this course having never missed the frame including two wins and two placings. Scored by 2 lengths last time (29.01) in an A5 over 476m at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. ALL LONG (3) was out of the placings last time but before that was an impressive winner (28.62) in an A6 at this track. Can improve sharply here. CASTELL STORM (4) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by 2.25 lengths last start at this track over 476m (28.88). Rises a grade but can measure up with repeat of latest. OUTBACK TESS (2) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Comes off a (28.88) win last time, scoring by 2.25 lengths in an A6 over 476m at this track. Boasts good form here at the journey with four wins and four minor placings from nine tries. One of the chances.
