Hove Bags Race 5

Race 5

Stake: $784

RAPIDO AVA (6) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 3 lengths at this track in a handy 30.30 beating Antigua Elsa. Has definite claims. KANTURK TONY (3) box seated early before forging to the lead turning and lifting to score (30.34) at this track in an A10 over 500m. Yet to miss the placings from three starts out of this box. Looks the one to beat. POUNDING SAND (5) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 4th and beaten 7 lengths at this track (30.53). Cannot be taken lightly. SEOMRA GOBI (1) can fill a top-three spot.

Finished off last campaign with a fifth in a ON3 over 520m at Tralee four months ago. Has had one runs first-up and has placed once. Looks a key chance while fresh.

Going well this campaign in two runs. In the money first up at Tralee then finished second, beaten a nose, in a ON3 at Tralee last start over 520m (29.68). In form but not keen here.

Good effort after tracking the speed to score in an A10 by 3 len at this track over 500m (30.34). Has never missed the frame from three starts out of this draw. Major player.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by a head in 30.41. Last start finished 4th on April 10 over 500m at this track behind Yougo Jessie beaten 7 lengths (30.53) in an A7. Worth consideration on best form.

Has really found form with two wins on end, the latest in 30.30 over 500m at this track on April 11. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.
