Hove Bags Race 9

Race 9

Stake: $828

CROHANE PEARL (2) last start finished 3rd in an A10 on February 6 over 500m at this track behind Proud Rori beaten 6 lengths (30.90). Can find winning form. STEFANS BOMB (4) missed the frame last time when fourth (30.36) at this track in an A10 but not beaten far the start prior. Well placed here and can atone this time. RAPIDO AVA (6) is down a grade after finishing fourth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at her latest appearance in an A9 at this track over 500m (30.90). Capable of a lot better this class. ANTIGUA BELLE (1) followed a moderate fifth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, in an A9 at this track over 500m (30.57). No surprise to see her back in form.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 6 length third (30.90) over 500m at this track last time. More than capable and has to be included.

Turned in a solid debut when fifth (29.96) at Shelbourne Park over 480m. Likely to be further improved. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Comments

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th over 500m at this track beaten 6 lengths (30.91) behind Proud Rori in an A10 on February 6. Has been around the mark at her last couple and should make her presence felt.

Yet to break through in two runs but has been thereabouts. Solid last time when on speed early before fading to finish fourth (30.70) at this track over 500m. Likely to be further improved. Prepared to overlook.
