Hove Bags Race 9 - Ben Rochford's Race
LAVA KING (1) maps well from the red and brings sharp recent 500m Hove form, winning last start in A7 from this box and scoring two of his past three. LERAS GEM (2) is a key chance after back-to-back A6 placings over this trip, latest 2nd at Hove beaten 1.14L. PROUD RORI (3) beat Lava King in A7 two back and was 3rd in A6 last time, so stays in the mix. CARAMELS CREAM (4) comes off an A8 win here six days ago and adds depth. PUNKROCKRHAPSODY (6) resumes off four straight Hove wins earlier in the year, including an A6 by 2.75L, but faces a 110-day break. Something for the Multiples: LAVA KING (1) LERAS GEM (2) PROUD RORI (3) CARAMELS CREAM (4)
