Hove Bags Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $753

POCKET LACEY (1) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a narrow second then scored by a neck in an A6 last time at this track over 500m (29.91). Tougher grade this time but key player expected to to measure up again. RAPIDO WILLOW (6) led throughout to score two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 7 length 4th at this track (30.17). Expected to run well. PUNKROCK MERCURY (5) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in an A4 at this track. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. YOUGO FINN (4) can fill a top-three spot.

Comments

Turned in a better effort over 500m at this track last start, finishing third behind Sullane Biscuit in an A4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Worked home well on that occasion and should be closing well again.
