Towcester Bags Race 7 - Congratulations To Hareofthebear - 4 Wins In A Row At Towcester

HAREOFTHEBEAR (3) has a strong record this track and trip including three wins from four starts. Scored by one length last time (29.73) in an A6 over 500m at this track. Has the ability and should feature. VINEGARHILL BLUE (4) made light work of trap four with a scorching early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing second (29.80) at this track over 500m. Well-placed to take this out. ALL LONG (5) boxed on well to finish third last time, beaten a neck (44.09) behind Eagles Rest at this track. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to feature again. SALACRES MERKEL (1) did a good job to finish second last time out over 500m at this track (29.60) in an A5, the second top-three finish on the trot.

Recorded a one length win (29.73) in an A6 last time over 500m at this track. Goes very well at this track and trip, including three wins. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just a neck into third over 712m at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow her up.
