Hove Bags Race 7

Race 7

Prize Money: $773

MELBURY CURLY (3) finished in the minors last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 500m at this track, taking an A5 in a brilliant 29.69. Smart win two back and looks a key chance here. RAPIDO WILLOW (5) was in the minor money with a fast 29.95, finishing third in an A3 at this track last start. Has the ability and can measure up. DROOPYS ROSTER (6) jumped from this trap last time and also the same course and distance when a 6 length third (30.22) in an A3. Harder here but expected to measure up. SPORTING PEGASUS (1) picked up a cheque over this course and distance most recently - in the mix again.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 500m at this track. Cannot be overlooked based on that sound recent effort.
