Hove Bags Race 10

Race 10

Prize Money: $651

PUNK ROCK PUFF (3) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in an A11 at this track. This looks easier and expected to bounce back. SMASHNGRABPUNK (1) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 2.5 lengths away in third (30.46) at this track in an A10 over 500m. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Well-placed to take this out. REFLECTION (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (31.19) in an A10 at this track. Great chance to atone. IMA ROCKET FRAN (2) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Got back early in the race last start when fourth over 500m at this track. Before that won by 1.5 lengths at this track (30.85) beating Droopys Dugout in an A11 on March 30. Has claims on best form.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by half a length in 30.59. Last start finished last in an A9 on April 2 over 500m at this track behind Uptown Lad beaten 8 lengths (31.06). Well worth another chance.

Last start finished last in an A10 on April 4 over 500m at this track behind Up The Pace beaten 5.5 lengths (31.19). Mixing her form but shapes as a genuine chance under these conditions.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.75 lengths into second over 500m at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.
