Hove Bags Race 9 - Race 9

AVARUA CYRIL (5) had been in great form but missed the frame latest when fifth (30.64) in an A3 at this track. Normally fast to begin but shuffled back last time. Solid record here at the distance winning eight races. Has ability and looks hard to stop. YOUGO DIXIE (4) shapes well after a handy run last time, finishing third in an A3 at this track in 29.95. Fast run latest and rates a key player again. BLUEISTHECOLOR (2) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 2.5 lengths (30.22) at this track. Cannot be taken lightly. DROOPYS ROSTER (6) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can make amends. Something for the Multiples: SMURFEVER (1)

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at her latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 500m (30.10). In good form but this is tougher.

Finished third last start over 500m at this track behind Signora Veloce in an A3. Worked home well on that occasion and should be closing well again. Leading contender.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when sixth and beaten 7 lengths (30.53) in an A3 over 500m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.
