Towcester Bags Race 2 - 500Mtrs (A4)

CHOSEN MAGGIE (2) hit the ground running with a scorching early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 3.5 lengths fourth (29.85) over 500m at this track. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to her name from seven starts. Has ability and looks hard to stop. SALACRES MERKEL (1) jumped from this trap last time and placed in an A4 at this track over 500m, finishing second (29.77). Has a very consistent record off this same box, including six wins and 14 placings from 24 starts. Bold showing expected again. WESTFIELD GRACIE (6) is racing very well, claiming an A5 two back then scored a 1.3 lengths win of an A5 at this track over 500m (29.77) last time. Facing tougher grade but in form and not to be underestimated. CHELMS JACOB (5) followed a minor placing two runs ago with a plain effort last time to finish fourth, beaten 3 lengths, in an A3 at this track over 500m (30.09). Worth another chance this easier line-up.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a sensational early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (30.09) at this track over 500m. Happy to risk this time.
