Hove Bags Race 5

Coral 695 Stayers Trophy - Heat 1

Prize Money: $1,059

DROOPYS RHONA (5) is a consistent dog overall, in the frame at six of 16 starts including five wins but missed the frame latest when fifth (42.04) over 695m at this track. Goes well from this trap. Expected to feature in the finish. MINSTRELS SIX (4) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 3 lengths (42.42) at this track. Bold showing expected again. SLANEYSIDE ROSS (2) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 42.50 beating Stormy Bluey. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. SWIFT MEGAN (1) followed a OR win two back with a sound second, beaten 2.5 lengths, in a OR at this track over 695m (41.89). Can find winning form again in this much easier company.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 695m. Won't find this much tougher. Definite contender.

Good performance after tracking the speed to score in a S2 by 3 len at this track over 695m (42.42). That last win was in the quickest time on the card. Stick with her.
