Hove Bags Race 12

Race 12

Stake: $886

POCKET DARCEY (2) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (16.74) at this track. Solid record here at this trip including six wins. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Rates highly and will give a great sight. PUNK ROCK HARLEY (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (30.48) in an A3 at this track. In the mix. PLAY STATION (3) ran below best last time finishing fifth (30.83) over 500m at this track in an A3. The form out of last race has been strong. Can figure in the finish. SHARP BOBBY (6) is worth consideration after filling a hole at big odds last start.

Didn't fire when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 285m at this track. The recent effort suggests she is ready to win.

Missed the frame when fifth at over 500m this track at his last run four-and-a-half months ago. Has had one runs first-up and has placed once. Worth including among the chances.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 1.3 lengths into second over 500m at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.
