Towcester Bags Race 4 - Race 4

MELBURY METEOR (2) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Cragbrien Hero (16.37) in a D3. Leading chance again. SALACRES MERKEL (1) flew the lids off the inside with a sensational early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (29.87) over 500m at this track. Can do much better this time. GREENCROFT OSCAR (3) recorded a 3 length win in a D4 last time 16.36 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. TOMMYS LOTTO (6) is always hard to beat when drawn in this box.
