Hove Bags Race 7

Coral Brighton Belle - 1St Semi-Final

Stake: $1,615

STRIKE IT SKYE (4) is a progressive type who recorded her 12th career win last time out (29.79) at this track. Hard to go past form here at this journey. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Looks to have an edge on most of these. BLACKSTONE OPERA (1) goes very well this course and distance starting 11 times for five wins and three minors. In the money last time at this track (30.32) in a OR1, finishing a 1.3 lengths second. Can feature with the right run. FIRE HEIGHT LILA (6) recorded a 1.3 lengths second in a OR1 last time 30.42 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Rates a key player. BALLYMAC MADGIE (2) collected a minor prize last start over this track and distance - must be considered.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 515m in a OR1 at this track. Cannot be overlooked based on that sound recent effort.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 7 length third (30.90) over 515m at this track last time. Others have better credentials.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Romford then finished third at her latest appearance in a OR1 at this track over 515m (30.87). Faces a stiffer test this time.
