Towcester Bags Race 5 - Star Sports & Orchestrate Ltd English Greyhound Derby Trial Stakes
HAPPY JET (2) was a winner two back when prominent throughout then got further back last time and could manage only a 6 length 4th at this track (29.82). Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. CHASING LARRY (1) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a 9 length third (29.29) in a OR at this track. Can measure up. THIS APPROACH (3) jumped from the inside and boxed on well to finish third last time, beaten 2 lengths (33.42) behind Actindamaggot at Mullingar. The form from his last run stacks up well. Expected to feature again. FRONT POLO (6) jumps at a shorter distance and still warrants respect.

Finished third last start over 549m at Mullingar behind Actindamaggot in an AA0. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Top-three hope with the right run.

Started big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a sizzling early spilt before being grabbed late to finish third (29.78) at this track over 500m. Can't recommend against this lot.
