Towcester Bags Race 2 - Race 2

ROMEO BRAVO (3) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his swift win three back, getting around this track over 500m in 29.61. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. GLENCOE QUEEN (4) is an honest type in the frame at 32 of 69 starts including 14 wins, the latest scoring (44.07) over 712m at this track. Form here at the trip sound including nine wins. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. SALACRES MERKEL (1) went straight to the front and never headed when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished 4th and beaten 5 lengths at this track (30.04). Cannot be left out. BLITZ HURRICANE (2) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 5 length fourth (30.04) over 500m at this track. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fifth (30.07) over 500m at this track. Major threat on best form.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 2 lengths into second over 500m at this track. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow him up.

Solid performance after taking an early lead to score in a S2 by nose at this track over 712m (44.07). Looks to have an edge on most of these.
