Hove Bags Race 9

Melbury Curly April Dog Of The Month Trophy

Prize Money: $849

CLONMOYLE ROCKIE (4) has good credentials for this, winning an A1 two back before finishing third at his latest appearance in an A1 at this track over 500m (30.07). Drops a level and hard to knock recent efforts. Go close. HARLEQUIN GAMBIT (2) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten a neck (29.71) behind Ballymac Lolls at this track. Bold showing expected. CYNTHIAS DREAM (1) could manage only second but ran fast time (29.81) at this track over 500m. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. KERRS DELILAH (6) was in the money last start and likely to feature again.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just a neck into second over 500m at this track. Heading the right way looks well placed to take this out.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in an A1 at this track over 500m (30.07). Hard to beat.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 500m. Won't find this much tougher. Definite contender.
