Hove Bags Race 8

Coral 695 Stayers Trophy - Final

Stake: $1,943

ROMEO EMPIRE (1) got the job done again after leading them home to make it back to back wins at this track over 695m (41.62). Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from five starts. The hardest to beat again. ART RIDDLER (5) was a last start winner (41.82) at this track in a OR3 and will jump from trap 5 for the first time. Solid record at the distance winning four races. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Form should stack up. SWIFT JARVIS (6) hit the frame latest (41.84) when second at this track in a OR3. Makes strong appeal on best. HARLEQUIN BEAUTY (3) has won at this course and distance, cannot be ruled out.

Solid performance after taking an early lead to score in a OR3 by nose at this track over 695m (42.21). Not keen this time.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only second over 695m at this track in 42.22. Leading contender.

Good effort to score last start by a head over 695m at this track in 41.82, beating Swift Jarvis. Can make it back to back wins.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 695m. No easier here and likely to struggle.
