Hove Bags Race 11

National Greyhound Week 695 Maiden Stayers

Prize Money: $1,152

ZENITH ANGEL (1) was in the minor money with a respectable 29.94, finishing second in an A2 at this track last start. Smart effort latest and looks a key chance again here. SOUL CHOICE (2) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing fourth (42.26) at this track last time. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. In the mix. MAGICAL KIRSTY (4) likely to enjoy the staying trip for the first time. The form out of her last race has been franked. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. FRONT POLO (5) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at her latest appearance in an A2 at this track over 500m (29.94). The one they have to overcome.

Last start finished 4th in a OR1 on July 26 over 695m at this track behind Mongys Wild beaten 14 lengths (42.26). Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Back to 695m which hasn't been kind to date. Others make more appeal.

Having her first start over this trip. Last appeared when second over 500m at this track. With even luck and a clean start she should be very hard to beat.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished 4th in a OR3 on August 21 over 500m at this track behind Raebella Bullet beaten 5.5 lengths (29.62). Solid chance with even luck.
