Hove Bags Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $766

PUNK ROCK THIEF (1) had the drop on the lead early on but could only manage third, beaten 1.5 lengths (30.62) at this track in an A8 over 500m. Overdue and gets his chance. STHENO (3) looks well placed here following an A7 win two back before finishing in the minors at her latest appearance in an A7 at this track over 500m (30.55). Should enjoy this easier assignment. Expected to feature. DROOPYS FERVOUR (5) is going well, filling a minor placing two back then was a 2.25 lengths winner of an A9 at this track over 500m (30.74). Rises a grade but expected to measure up. BALLYMAC HUMILIS (2) is going well, finishing in the placings twice in a row. Not beaten far last time when a one length second (30.54) in an A7 at this track.
