Hove Bags Race 7

Race 7

Stake: $869

SLY BLUEBIRD (1) tends to take a while to wind up, running on to score two back before spotting a start latest and finishing on strongly into second (29.78) in an A4 at this track. Can go on with it. CLASSIC PIPER (5) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (30.58) last time in an A4 at this track. Better than last start and can bounce back. POCKET PENNY (6) hit the ground running and was prominent to the turn but faded out of it when 5th at this track in A4 company. Solid record here at the distance winning seven races. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. RADICAL KYLIAN (2) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when fifth and beaten 1.75 lengths (30.16) in an A3 over 500m at this track. Nicely placed to atone.
