Towcester Bags Race 5 - Race 5

EL PREZ ELSIE (2) turned in a plain run last time when sixth at this track over 500m behind Railwayclub Bob (30.30) in an A4. Rates on top in this line up. VINEGARHILL BLUE (5) flew the lids from trap five with a sensational turn of foot before finishing third (30.15) and beaten 7 lengths over 500m at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. SALACRES SAHARA (4) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including an A5 win two back (30.24) at this track. Has the ability and expected to do much better. SALACRES MERKEL (1) returns here as an each-way chance.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 270m in a D3 at this track. Sure to be thereabouts again.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 460m at this track. Better last time but not convinced this is his race.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by a nose in 30.24. Last start finished 4th in an A4 on May 20 over 500m at this track behind Railwayclub Bob beaten 7 lengths (30.18). Has claims on best and can bounce back.

Big odds but gave a huge sight after burning early, finishing a 7 length third (30.15) over 500m at this track. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.
