Hove Bags Race 6 - Coral 500 Maiden Trophy - Heat 1
STRAIGHT SHOT (1) sizzled around this track over 500m in 29.37 for a 6 length victory. Expected to push the clock again here. KINGDOM ELITE (2) will appreciate the drop in grade after following a moderate sixth two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths, in a OR at this track over 500m (29.94). Very well placed here and must be included. SEOMRA BENJI (6) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in an A3 at this track. Expected to bounce back to best. HEAD FOR HOME (4) failed despite market confidence last time but cannot be taken lightly.

Last start winner at this track and distance (29.37) after missing the jump on May 21. Hard to fault and should run well again.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 500m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Likely to struggle this time.

Racing consistently, including a win three back at Shelbourne Park, before placings at last two runs, the latest when third (28.33) over 480m at Monmore. Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card.

Missed the frame when sixth (30.51) at this track at last run of initial campaign and returns here after a nine weeks break. Has found the right race and can take this out.

Got back early in the race last start when fourth over 500m at this track. Before that won by 1.5 lengths at this track (30.09) beating Broadstrand Noah in an A3 on May 15. Has claims on best form.
