Hove Bags Race 5 - Punkrock Mercury April Dog Of The Month
SLICK MICK (4) recorded a one length second in an A2 last time 29.95 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Tough to beat on best. PUNKROCK MERCURY (6) three runs back posted a blistering 29.68 win over 500m at this track then has found the minor money in two runs since. Must include on winning run three back. BREFFNI UNA (3) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (24.52) in a OR at Romford. Likely to be thereabouts. UNANIMOUS ALI (2) is a last-start placegetter with solid claims again.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just one length into second over 500m at this track. Better last time but not convinced this is her race.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a scorching early split, weakening late to finish a 2.5 lengths fourth (24.52) over 400m at Romford. Capable of a good showing.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 500m in an A2 at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.
