Towcester Bags Race 3 - Race 3

DIRECT LUKE (2) last raced on January 6 when sixth (16.75) over 270m at this track in a D3. Form at the trip sound including 11 wins. Strike-rate solid and expected to feature in the finish. SWIFT ONE (5) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 2.75 lengths (16.66) at this track. Key runner on best form. MAGICAL NELLY (4) jumps from trap 4 again after placing (16.59) last time at this track over 270m. Expected to feature. GREENCROFT RICO (3) followed a moderate sixth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fifth, beaten 5 lengths, in a D3 at this track over 270m (16.84). This easier so don't rule him out.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.75 lengths into second over 270m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.
