Hove Bags Race 9 - Race 9

DROOPYS SPOTLITE (2) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten a nose (29.97) behind Pips Gamble at this track. Expected to feature in the finish again. MUSTANG MAVERICK (6) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (30.03) at this track behind Backoftheline in an A6. Has the pace to be prominent. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to his name from eight starts. Hard to beat again. CLOHEENA RODNEY (5) comes off an average effort last start when sixth at this track over 500m behind Crystal Prince (30.43) in an A6. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. ROMANTIC RICHY (1) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to make amends.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just a nose into second over 500m at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.

Finished third last start over 500m at this track behind Backoftheline in an A6. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.
