Hove Bags Race 12

Dennis Law's Retirement Race

Prize Money: $1,073

RAPIDO BENJI (4) has a strong record this track and trip with seven wins and six placings from 18 starts. Was out of the placings last time (29.72) at this track in a OR3, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Looks a leading chance on best. ZENITH DUKE (6) comes off an average run last start when fifth at Monmore over 480m behind Woltemade (29.13) in a OR1. Has ability and can measure up. DROOPYS INVENT (3) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten half a length into second (29.46) at this track in an A1 over 500m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Expected to be in the finish again. BALLYDOYLE TOBY (2) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.

Comments

Not seen at best last start when he finished last on August 6 over 500m at this track behind Burrows Fizz beaten 8 lengths (30.14) in a OR3. Other runners look much more appealing.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished last in a OR3 on August 1 over 500m at this track behind Alien Chieftan beaten 10 lengths (30.27). Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Comments

Turned in a better effort over 500m at this track last start, finishing second behind Brother Patrick in an A1. 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.
