Hove Bags Race 9

Race 9

Stake: $869

SEOMRA BAXTER (2) boasts a consistent overall record including 17 wins from 72 starts, but missed the frame latest when fifth (30.17) over 500m at this track. Looks well placed here and should prove hard to beat again. POCKET PENNY (6) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 4 lengths at this track in a handy 30.03 beating Punkrock Mercury. Should feature again. MILLIE THE ARB (4) goes very well this trip starting six times for two wins and three minors. Hit the frame latest (30.73) when third at this track in an A4. Suited here and expected to run well. ANNADOWN ZARA (5) returned from a break with a half a length win in an A5 at this track over 500m (30.11). Faces tougher but hard to fault latest and worth including.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish second over 500m at this track. Heading the right way looks well placed to salute.

Good performance after taking an early lead to score in an A5 by 0.5 len at this track over 500m (30.11). Looks the one to beat again.

Good effort to score last start by 4 lengths over 500m at this track in 30.03, beating Punkrock Mercury. Had found the frame two times on end before a deserved win most recently. Can measure up again.
