Towcester Bags Race 5 - Star Sports & Orchestrate Ltd English Greyhound Derby Trial Stakes
DROOPYS BERRIES (2) recorded his best time this course and distance last start, taking a OR in 29.21 by 0.8 lengths. Expected to push the clock again. THE OTHER CHIEF (4) scored two on end prior to a close up fourth (28.68) last time at Central Park, where he gave a sight after a scorching early split but weakened late to finish 2.25 lengths from the winner. Better than last start and can bounce back. RACKETHALL BRUTE (1) boasts a strong record this journey here with five wins and seven minors from 15 tries. Was out of the placings last time (29.10) at Central Park in a OR1, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Looks suited here and can measure up. TRE COOL (3) has strong claims after a long-odds top-three finish last time out.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.3 lengths into third over 500m at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow him up.

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 2.25 lengths fourth (28.68) over 491m at Central Park.
