Hove Bags Race 10

Coral Saturday Night 500 Maidens

Stake: $1,442

BALLYCIAN ALVA (4) won by 3.5 lengths last start at Newcastle 480m in a fast 29.14. In form and can measure up again. GLENROCK KING (5) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at his last four runs. Last start finished 2nd on March 4 over 500m at this track behind Beloved Brenda beaten 2 lengths (29.94) in an A1. Deserves a win and gets his chance. SLIPPY DES (6) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (30.06) last time in a OR at this track. Can do much better this time. VAHBELLE (1) has claims fresh from a recent placing.

Could only manage fourth when resuming last start over 515m at this track in a OR1 (30.98). Will strip fitter but others rate better this time.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start comfortably by 3.5 lengths at Newcastle (29.14) beating Trinity Coco in an A4 on March 5. Looks well placed to make it three straight.
