Hove Bags Race 4 - Coral Springtime 695 Maiden Stayers
VIC RATTLEHEAD (3) is still a maiden after nine runs but rarely out of the placings, the latest filling a minor again when second at this track. Has hit the frame at the last three starts. One of the leading chances. UNDERGROUND NAVY (1) was prominent early from trap four and stalked the lead before levelling up to score (28.48) at Dundalk in an A4 over 480m. Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Can measure up again. GURTEEN DEC (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (29.96) last time in a OR at this track. Has ability and is one of the better chances. STORMY BLUEY (5) placed last time (42.58) at this track in a OR, finishing second and beaten one length. Has two wins already from this trap.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start comfortably by 11 lengths at Dundalk (28.48) beating Avenue Cove in an A4 on March 14. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

First go at this trip. Last appeared when second over 500m at this track. With even luck and a clean start he should be prominent at the business end.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 695m. Won't find this much harder. Definite contender.

Back to 695m which hasn't been kind to date. Not likely to feature on this occasion.
