Bulli Race 9

Prize Money: $2,515

HOVERING (3) produced a modest effort most recently when sixth at Richmond over 401m behind Release Point (23.63) in a Grade 5. Should be about the money. SLEEK APOLLO (2) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 2.75 lengths at Richmond in a handy 22.98 beating All The Cash. Has a solid record from this box including three wins and a minor placing. Capable of going well again. SASSY CROSSED (1) is a surprise last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts. Something for the Multiples: FLASH BOOM BANG (9)

In the money last time at this track (19.53) in a Mix 2/3, finishing a one length second. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and five places from 13 starts. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Quickly out of the boxes with a slick early sectional clocking 22.98 with a 2.75 lengths win at Richmond over 401m. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Finished fourth (22.67) last start at this track. Prior to that had recorded three minor placings in a row. Awkwardly drawn and will need to find best.

Looks close to another win after his success on July 13 at Maitland over 400m. Last start was third over 450m in 25.35, behind Lockdown. Capable of a good showing.
