Hove Bags Race 9

Race 9

Stake: $784

SLIPPY JANE (2) doesn't win out of turn but recent form sound. Continues to race well, filling the minors at the last three starts, the latest when second (30.31) at this track. Has a good record at this journey. One of the contenders. BALLYTAG AVA (1) was a course and distance placegetter (30.41) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 6 length third in an A8. Worth another try. BLUESTAR ECLIPSE (5) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished in the minors latest when third (30.71) at this track and may be close to breaking through. Bold showing expected. GALLIAGH SKY (6) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 500m at this track. Heading the right way looks well placed to take this out.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 500m. Won't find this any tougher. Right in this.

Last start finished last over 285m at this track beaten 5 lengths (17.06) behind Musket Gun in a D3 on April 10. Capable of much better. Worth keeping safe.
