Towcester Bags Race 11 - Race 11

SALACRES MERKEL (1) broke from the inside draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only 1.5 lengths (29.68) behind Vinegarhill Blue at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Ready to find winning form. CHELMS JACOB (5) turned in a fair 5th placed finish last time at this track over 500m (29.70). In the mix. KRANKY KATIE (6) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at this track but was an A6 winner two back at this track. Can turn it around this time. HOMESTEAD CEILE (2) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 500m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. This looks too tough.

Below best last start when she finished last on October 1 over 460m at this track behind Trapstyle Grumpy beaten 83 lengths (32.96) in a B4. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a scorching early split, weakening late to finish a 4.5 lengths fifth (29.70) over 500m at this track. Forward showing expected.
