Hove Bags Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $775

ROMEO SPARTA (6) has hit the frame here at the last two runs, most recently finishing second beaten one length (30.21). Expected to feature in the finish again. DROOPYS SPOTLITE (2) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when third (30.43) at this track in an A6. Rates a winning chance on best. DOUBTFUL HONEY (3) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 5th and beaten 4.5 lengths at this track (30.50). One of the main contenders. SHES DOUBLE TOP (1) is worth consideration after filling a hole as favourite last start.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at her latest appearance in an A6 at this track over 500m (30.43). Looks ready to win.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths (30.50) in an A6 over 500m at this track. No surprise if she was back in the winners' list.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just one length into second over 500m at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten one length, last start in an A6 at this track over 500m (30.21). Racing well and is the one to beat.
