Hove Bags Race 4

Coral Thursday Night 500 Mdns - Division A

Prize Money: $1,173

BALLYHIMIKIN LAD (4) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with two wins and a placing from six tries. Was out of placings last time (30.50) at this track in an A1, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths. Looks suited here and rates on top. ISABELLAS BULLET (3) doesn't win out of turn but recent form sound. Has hit the frame at her last four runs, the latest finishing third (29.70) at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. BURROWS ARIES (6) was in the placings last time but three back clocked a handy 29.45 win over 503m at Shelbourne Park. Expected to feature on best figures. BRIDIES SHOW (2) was in the money last start and poses a threat again.

Solid performance after racing on the speed to score in an A2 by 3 len at this track over 500m (29.69). Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Finished second last time at this track (29.65) in an A2, beaten 0.8 lengths. Strong record at this track and trip with five wins and six placings from 15 starts. Makes strong appeal.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 500m at this track. Cannot be taken lightly based on that sound recent effort.
