Hove Bags Race 9 - Coral Thursday Night 500 Puppies
VAHBELLE (2) is progressing well with another good run, placing by 2.5 lengths (29.09) in a OR at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Key chance in this line up. HEADFORD LILY (4) shapes well after a fast run last time, finishing third in a OR2 at this track in 29.51. This is tougher but looks a leading chance again. BURROWS TITAN (3) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (29.66) at this track behind Bowmers Buddy in a OR. Took the lead and boxed on but run over. Leading player again. BROTHER PATRICK (6) is worth including after a top-three finish at this track and distance most recently.

Charged out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional recording 28.87 in a 3 length win at Central Park last time. In winning form but needs to improve further.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 2.5 lengths second (29.09) over 500m at this track last time. Has never missed the frame from two starts from this draw. Key chance.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 500m. Won't find this any harder. Hard to beat with even luck.

In sparkling form at the moment, having scored two on the trot. Was a class above latest with a 27.15 success over 460m at Towcester. Stiffer test this time and others rate better.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 500m at this track. Cannot be overlooked based on that sound recent effort.
