Monmore Bags Race 2

Race 2

Stake: $828

ONLY ON BALE (2) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a close-up second then scored by 5 lengths in an A10 last time at this track over 480m (29.51). Key chance on latest effort and likely to feature again despite the rise in grade. AERO BASSETT (6) found some support last start but struggled into fifth (30.49), beaten 12 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Worth another chance. AURORA SKY (5) turned in a moderate effort last time when fifth at this track over 264m behind Youre Gone (16.30) in a D3. One of the main contenders. BALLYMAC BABE (1) hit the frame here last time and looks a chance again.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish second over 480m at this track. The recent effort suggests she is a genuine hope.

Was out of the placings at final run of debut campaign, finishing fifth (17.63) at Derry before going for a 11 weeks spell. Others make more appeal.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A9 at this track over 480m (29.76). Faces a stiffer test this time.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 5th in an A9 on February 14 over 480m at this track behind Aero Vigil beaten 12 lengths (30.49). Was in the money two on end before missing the frame last time. Worth another try.
