Hove Bags Race 2

Race 2

Stake: $1,051

COPPICE ESME (2) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this track and trip which boasts three wins and three placings. Hit the frame latest (29.89) when second at this track in a OR3. Looks well placed and should feature. DAZL HERMES (1) is racing very well, claiming an A3 two back then scored a 1.3 lengths win of an A2 at this track over 500m (29.76) last time. Up another grade but hard to fault recent form. A real threat again. SPORTING BAFTA (4) box seated early before forging to the lead turning and lifting to score (29.85) at this track in an A2 over 500m. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. ANTIGUA FORKY (6) profiles nicely over this trip.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished last over 500m at this track beaten 2.25 lengths (30.52) behind Blazeaway Kiss in an A1 on June 29. Mixing his form but shapes as a genuine contender under these conditions.
