Hove Bags Race 5

Happy Birthday Julie

Stake: $1,057

ANTIGUA FORKY (6) finished fifth last time at this track but could not have been more impressive before that in his dazzling 29.29 win at this track over 500m. Must include on winning run two back. BURROWS EMERALD (1) was game in defeat off a low draw at the latest outing, finishing third and beaten 1.75 lengths (29.30) behind Tea For Me at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Overdue and expected to feature again. BALLYDARLEY JACK (2) is a last start winner in very good time. Among the hopes. DROOPYS VELOCITY (3) finished fourth last time but just a few runs back broke the clock when winning over 500m at this track, taking an A1 in a brilliant 29.61. Should be in this for a long way.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 1.75 lengths, last start in an A1 at this track over 500m (29.30). Consistent performer who is hard to go past.

Solid performance after tracking the speed to score in a OR by 0.8 len at this track over 500m (29.39). The form out of the last run measures up. Among the chances.
