Hove Bags Race 7

Coral Sussex Cup - 1st Semi-Final

Prize Money: $1,344

BLACKSTONE OPERA (2) is a talented type who notched her 10th career success when too good (30.05) at this track last time. Solid record here at the distance winning eight races. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Expected to measure up again. WESTWOOD SHAY (1) goes very well this trip starting 16 times for seven wins and five minors. Hit the frame latest (30.29) when third at this track in a OR1. Looks one of the chances. DROOPYS ALLDEWAY (3) boasts a strong record this course with six wins and three minors from 14 tries. Scored by 3 lengths last time (30.17) in a OR1 over 515m at this track. Looks one of the chances. GINGERS LAYLA (4) is worth some thought after placing at this track and distance last start.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only third over 515m at this track in 30.29. Has the ability to take this out.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 515m in a OR1 at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.
