Towcester Bags Race 5 - Betway Standard

THIS APPROACH (4) could manage only second but ran slick time (26.09) at Star Pelaw over 435m. Can measure up if runs up to latest time. CUL NA BRAITHRE (3) used the inside draw to advantage last time and hit the ground running with a sensational early split, paving the way for a 0.8 lengths win at this track over 500m in 29.09. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Can make it two on the bounce. HAPPY JET (1) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 1.75 lengths (29.13) behind Ballymac Connery at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Expected to feature again. JACKTAVERN PELE (5) boasts a solid strike-rate over this trip.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 1.75 lengths into second over 500m at this track. Heading in the right direction and well placed to fill another top-three spot.

Good effort after tracking the speed to score in an A1 by 0.8 len at this track over 500m (29.09). Boasts a course and distance PB in a dazzling 28.9. Top chance.

Got back early in the race last start when fifth over 500m at this track. Before that won by one length at this track (29.28) beating Drohobych Galaxy in an A2 on August 7. Should show more than the latest offering. Has claims.
