Hove Bags Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $981

BALLYTAG AVA (1) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including an A7 win two back (29.82) at this track. Can make amends this time. TELL ON OLIVIA (4) goes very well at the course and distance with two wins and a placing from five starts. Placed last time (30.22) at this track in an A5, finishing third and beaten 1.1 lengths. Looks well placed here and among the chances. PUNKROCK MERCURY (5) boasts a consistent overall record including three wins from 14 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when third (30.26) over 500m at this track. Will go close here with a clear run. ROANNA ZARA (2) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.
