Hove Bags Race 3

Dunkerton Plumbing Sprint

Stake: $885

SLICK MICK (3) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this trip which boasts two wins and three placings. Recorded a 1.3 lengths win (29.99) in an A6 last time at this track. Expected to go close. KERRS BRAVEHEART (2) was below best last time at this track (30.20) in an A5, finishing a 3 length fifth. Unbeaten in two runs from this trap. Makes strong appeal on best. PUNKROCK MERCURY (5) settled down midfield and held his position to the line when finishing 4th (30.09) at this track. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. IVY HILL JAKE (6) missed the placings first up then scored by 4 lengths at this track last start over 500m (29.86). Goes up a notch but will give backers a sight.

Latest effort finished last in an A5 on October 17 over 500m at this track behind Punk Rock Harley beaten 3 lengths (30.20). Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this trap. Sure to go well.

Solid effort after tracking the speed to score in an A6 by 1.3 len at this track over 500m (29.99). Has never missed the frame from three starts out of this draw. Major player.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th over 500m at this track beaten 1.5 lengths (30.09) behind Punk Rock Harley in an A5 on October 17. Look for improvement. Not out of it.
