Hove Bags Race 11

Merton Abbey Lads Stakes

Prize Money: $728

BROADFIELDBULLET (4) found the frame for the second consecutive time when narrowly beaten into second last time out (30.16) over 500m at this track. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. MERTONABY GIGI (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (30.27) in an A4 at this track over 500m. Should be about the money. JONALEENS LADY (3) was well in the market last time but only managed fifth (30.67), beaten 9 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Has performed well from this box with a win and seven minor placings to her name from 14 starts. Key runner on best form. SWIFT ZANE (2) is a last-start placegetter here at this trip - worth considering.

Missed the placings at the final run of her last campaign, finishing fifth over 500m at this track on January 21. Has a win and four minors when resuming. Looks a significant danger.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 500m. Won't find this any tougher. Hard to beat with even luck.

Good effort to score last start by 0.8 lengths over 500m at this track in 29.93, beating Clairkeith Dolly. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
