Towcester Bags Race 13 - 500Mtrs (A4)

ESSJAY PAUL (2) Applied plenty of pressure when 2nd last start at this track in 29.8s and strong performer at this distance in the past. Expected to fight out the finish. KEEPERHILL DUKE (5) Improved late to finish 5th last start here. Should be swooping on the field late. Worth a look and is a rough hope. FOURPENNY BLEU (3) Came in 3rd last time at this venue. Has plenty of early speed. Performing honestly this campaign. Not out of this. DOOLIN DREAM (1) Struggled when 5th last run at this track. Likely to be well placed early. Running with confidence since resuming from a break. One of the hopes.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4.5 lengths fourth (30.20) over 500m at this track.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fourth (30.44) over 500m at this track. More than capable and has to be included.
