Hove Bags Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $774

RIFLE BULLET (6) recorded a one length second in an A8 last time 30.47 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Worth following up. SMASHNGRABPUNK (2) scored two back when on speed but last start drifted back and could manage only a 3 length 3rd at this track (30.63). Can measure up. PUNK ROCK ZELDA (3) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at her last three starts, the latest jumping from this same trap when third in an A8 at this track (30.45). Rates a key player. SHES DOUBLE TOP (1) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Comments

Got back early in the race last start when fifth over 500m at this track. Before that won by a neck at this track (30.57) beating Punk Rock Ivy in an A9 on July 24. Mixing her form but shapes as a genuine chance under these conditions.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 3 length third (30.63) over 500m at this track last time. Rates among the chances this time.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at her last three starts, the latest when third (30.45) over 500m at this track. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Below best last start when she finished last on August 8 over 500m at this track behind Shinobi Gail beaten 5 lengths (30.87) in an A7. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just one length into second over 500m at this track. Heading the right way looks well placed to take this out.
