Hove Bags Race 3

Coral Christmas 500 Trophy - Heat 2

Prize Money: $1,263

KEYLOGUES RUNNER (6) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at Oxford following on from a second place finish (26.97) there the start prior. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Should be very hard to beat this time. BALLYHIMIKIN BEN (5) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (39.73) last time out at Oxford. Will give a great sight again. TEA FOR ME (1) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive before that in his blistering 29.65 win at this track over 500m. Top win two back and rates a key player again. DROOPYS BERRIES (3) followed a first-up placing two starts ago with a modest effort to finish fourth, beaten 21 lengths, in a OR1 at this track over 515m (31.25). Deserves another chance this far easier class.
