Hove Bags Race 6 - Coral 500 Maidens Trophy - Heat 2

JACKPOT BLUE (4) was below best last time finishing fifth at this track, but prior to that had been racing well including an A1 win two back at this track. Can turn form around here. BLACKSTONE HARRY (2) led throughout to score two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 4 length 4th at this track (29.86). Can do much better this time. ELVIS BAY (6) was well supported last start but didn't deliver when fifth (36.31), beaten 2.75 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Boasts a strong record from this draw with two wins and three minor placings from five starts. Has ability and is one of the better chances. POCKET GUNNER (3) is worth some thought after placing at this track and distance last start.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only fourth over 500m at this track in 29.86. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Got back early in the race last start when fourth over 500m at this track. Before that won easily by 3.5 lengths at Newcastle (29.14) beating Trinity Coco in an A4 on March 5. Prefer in something easier.
