Hove Bags Race 10 - Coral Thursday Night 695 Maiden Stayers

EMPIRICISM (4) shows ability but remains a maiden after 13 starts. Was game in defeat when narrowly beaten into second last time. Expected to be in this for a long way. LILYS BULLET (3) settled down midfield and held her position to the line when finishing 4th (42.66) at this track. In the mix. CLAIREKEITH MERY (5) could manage only second but ran fast time (29.84) at this track over 500m. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. SLIPPY JANE (1) is a last-start placegetter who is in the mix again.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 0.8 lengths into second over 695m at this track. The recent effort suggests she is ready to win.
