Towcester Bags Race 5 - Race 5
SALACRES SAHARA (4) brings solid A5 form, winning over 500m at Towcester two runs back before a midfield A4 effort, and looks a leading chance. VINEGARHILL BLUE (5) has been around the mark in A4 grade with a 2nd on 7 May over 500m (beaten 0.1L) and a last-start 3rd, so rates as the main danger. SALACRES MERKEL (1) draws the inside and has a recent Towcester 500m win on 5 March, with subsequent placings confirming consistency at the trip.
