Hove Bags Race 12

Race 12

Stake: $886

OZIBLUE (5) scored by 2.25 lengths in an A4 when returning from a break at this track over 500m (29.58). Key chance on latest effort and likely to feature again despite the rise in grade. DROOPYS RUNAWAY (3) comes off a (29.63) win last time, scoring by 6 lengths in an A6 over 500m at this track. Looks suited here and can measure up. ANNADOWN ZARA (6) has an excellent record here having never missed the placings in five starts, including two wins and three placings. In the money last time at this track (29.69) in an A3, finishing a 2 length second. Looks well placed here and among the chances. FIVE WINTERS (2) is likely to have admirers.
