Hove Bags Race 10

Race 10

Prize Money: $961

ANTIGUA FORKY (6) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by a nose at this track in a handy 30.07 beating Citizen King. Ideally placed to take this out. SLIPPY QUEEN (4) stalked the lead from trap 4 and boxed on well to finish 1.3 lengths back in second (29.86) at this track in an A2 over 500m. Expected to be in this for a long way. ETERNAL SPIRIT (2) stalked the lead from a low draw and fought on well to finish 4 lengths back in third (42.60) at this track in a OR over 695m. Well-placed to take this out. DROOPYS FERVOUR (5) hit the frame with a close-up second two runs back then claimed an A3 by 0.8 lengths at this track over 500m (30.09) last time. Faces a stiffer grade but latest effort hard to fault.
