Hove Bags Race 9

Coral 695 Stayers Trophy - Heat 1

Prize Money: $1,061

RULES FOR SOME (3) went straight to the front and never headed when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished 4th and beaten 7 lengths at this track (42.45). Consistent performer from this draw with a win and six minor placings to her credit. Can make amends. HOPES CANDY (2) was chasing the leaders from a low draw and kept coming to score (42.25) at this track in OR over 695m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Expected to feature again. MINSTRELS SIX (1) jumped from this trap last time and placed in an A3 at this track over 500m, finishing third (30.03). Has a very consistent record off this same box, including 11 wins and 15 placings from 39 starts. Expecting another bold showing. AVARUA FLOJO (5) is a last start winner worth following up.

Comments

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 0.6 lengths into third over 500m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.
