Towcester Bags Race 3 - Race 3

GRAFTON STAR (5) scored (29.61) last time out over 500m at this track 12 weeks ago. Has performed well from this trap. Rates highly here and will go close. WRAYSBURY BAND (2) has a strong record this track and trip with nine wins and eight placings from 27 starts. Was out of the placings last time (15.02) at Star Pelaw in a OR, finishing fourth and beaten 3 lengths. Looks a key chance on best figures. HOXTON STAR (4) goes very well this course and distance starting seven times for three wins and two minors. Recorded a nose win (15.96) in a D2 last time at this track. Among the main chances. LION KING (3) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot from this box most recently.

Got back early in the race last start when fifth over 435m at Star Pelaw. Before that won by 2 lengths at this track (27.39) beating Noirs Bono in a B3 on July 1. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by 1.5 lengths in 16.08. Last start finished 4th over 245m at Star Pelaw beaten 3 lengths (15.02) behind Sadele in a OR on July 11. Better than that and worth following up.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a nose second (15.97) over 270m at this track last time. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

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