Hove Bags Race 7

Race 7

Stake: $1,043

HOPES MELODY (1) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 7 lengths at this track in a handy 30.52 beating Punk Rock Rose. Can make it back-to-back wins. CANDOLIM SPICE (5) goes very well this course and distance starting 14 times for five wins and three minors. Missed the frame latest (30.06) when fourth over 500m at this track in an A1. Makes strong appeal on best. GLENROCK KING (3) was in winning form two back (29.74) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. Has a good record here at this journey. Leading chance. WESTWIND ACE (2) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th in a OR on August 21 over 500m at this track behind Posh Rocket beaten 9 lengths (30.49). Has ability and worth including.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 500m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Comments

Below her best last time over 500m at this track (30.06) in an A1, finishing 1.5 lengths away in fourth. Boasts good form here at the journey with five wins and three minor placings from 14 tries. Well placed and should feature.
