Hove Bags Race 9 - Race 9

KANTURK TONY (3) was prominent early from trap four and stalked the lead before levelling up to score (30.07) at this track in A6 over 500m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Will go close again if runs up to latest. MELBURY CURLY (4) was a winner two back but last start drifted back and wound up strongly to finish a 3 length third at this track (30.34). Expected to be in the finish again. DROOPYS CRAFTY (1) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a 1.3 lengths second (30.21) in an A5 at this track. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. Can measure up. OIOIPERFECTOLADS (6) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by a nose last start at this track over 500m (30.08). Up a notch this time but in form and sure to give a good account.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten 1.3 lengths, last start in an A5 at this track over 500m (30.21). Decent recent form so demands respect.
