Hove Bags Race 10 - Coral Christmas 500 Trophy Final
BALLYHIMIKIN BEN (5) goes very well this trip starting 19 times for seven wins and four minors. In the money last time at this track (29.32) in a OR3, finishing a 4 length second. Expected to go close. DROOPYS BERRIES (3) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 4 lengths (28.98) at this track. Looks a primary danger. BURROWS ECLIPSE (6) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 10 lengths at this track in a handy 29.08 beating ZENITH EZE. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. BLARNEY ROY (4) has top-three aspirations after just missing last time.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish second over 500m at this track. Faces a tough assignment this time.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 500m in a OR3 at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow him up.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Oxford then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in a OR3 at this track over 500m (29.32). Consistent performer who is hard to go past.

Good effort to score last start by 10 lengths over 500m at this track in 29.08, beating Zenith Eze. Boasts a course and distance PB in a lightning 29.08. Must include.
