Hove Bags Race 2

Coral 695 Stayers Trophy - Heat 1

Prize Money: $1,096

DROOPYS RATED (2) missed the placings when resuming from a break in a OR1 at Newcastle over 480m (31.20). Much easier grade here and worth another try. IVY HILL CHERRY (4) turned in a fair 5th placed finish last time at this track over 695m (42.72). Key runner who gets her chance to atone. SWIFT MEGAN (5) followed a unplaced effort at Monmore two back with a sound third, beaten 6 lengths, last start in a OR at Central Park over 664m (40.92). This far easier so don't rule her out. AZURA SKYE (1) is always a threat when she races at this journey.

Resumed last time over 480m at Newcastle and finished fifth (31.20) in a OR1. Will strip fitter and should prove tough to beat.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 695m in a OR at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 664m at Central Park. Heading in the right direction and well placed to fill another top-three spot.
