Hove Bags Race 9 - Finlay Jai Smart
DROOPYS SOMETIME (6) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this track and trip which boasts two wins. Scored by a nose last time (29.67) in a OR over 500m at this track. Looks the one to beat with even luck. SLANEYSIDE ROSS (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (29.87) in a OR at this track. Should be in this for a long way. MULVEYS CHAMP (4) cannot be left out despite racing here for the first time.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a sensational early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (24.54) at Romford over 400m. Thereabouts last time others preferred this line-up.

Got back early in the race last start when fourth over 500m at this track. Before that won comfortably by 7 lengths at Curraheen Park (28.71) beating Kerryroad Laura in a ON3 on February 20. Prepared to risk on this occasion.

Solid effort after taking an early lead to score in a OR by nose at this track over 500m (29.67). Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
