Towcester Bags Race 14 - 500Mtrs (A4)

GRAFTON LUCKY (4) was well fancied last time on the strength of the win two back but could only manage third (30.22) at this track. Expected to feature in the finish again. VINEGARHILL MIST (5) jumped well to win over the 500m at this track two runs back then settled forward again when finishing third at this track last start. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Must be included in calculations. GAFFER (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (30.28) last time in an A4 at this track. Has a good record here including nine wins. One of the main contenders. FRANKTON FERN (2) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Showed a hot pace early and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fourth this track in 30.28. Key chance on best form.

Got back early in the race last start when fourth over 500m at this track. Before that won by a nose at this track (29.89) beating Vinegarhill Bell in an A5 on June 26. Is a danger.
