Hove Bags Race 5

August Dog Of The Month - Hollyhill Lynx

Prize Money: $939

BALLYDARLEY JACK (3) rocketed around 500m at this track in 29.58 three back then has been in the money the last two since. Hot win three back and looks the one to beat here. RAZOR GUN (4) hasn't been far away, finishing in the money twice in a row including last time in an A1 at this track over 500m. Expected to bounce back to best. ANTIGUA LUIGI (2) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 1.5 lengths into third (30.11) at this track in an A1 over 500m. Hard to beat again. LAUGHIL SEAN (1) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.5 lengths into third over 500m at this track. The recent effort suggests he is a genuine hope.

Racing consistently, including a win three back at this track, before placings at last two runs, the latest when second (30.05) over 500m at this track. Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 29.22. Top chance.
