Hove Bags Race 9

Coral Sussex Cup Trial Stakes - Division 1

Stake: $1,295

NEVER SAY NO (1) missed the frame latest (29.38) when fifth over 500m at Towcester in a OR2. Looks the one to beat with even luck. KING COMBS (4) is coming off a 8 length fifth but in a handy 29.38 at Towcester over 500m. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. BOMBAY THE JOKER (3) hit the frame last time at Towcester but the start prior rocketed around 500m at Towcester in 29.15. Smart winner two back and looks a key chance on that form. DROOPYS DISPLAY (5) placed last start at big odds and is in the mix again.

Was out of the placings last time over 500m at Towcester (29.38) in a OR2, beaten 5.5 lengths. Strong record at this track and trip with 12 wins and 10 placings from 26 starts. Key player and should go well.

Finished sixth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 515m in a OR at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish second over 515m at this track. The recent effort suggests he is a genuine hope.
