Hove Bags Race 7 - Race 7

DROOPYS LARA (3) missed the frame two runs back then won at her latest appearance by one length at this track over 500m (30.03). Key chance on latest effort and likely to feature again despite the rise in grade. MELBURY TYR (2) goes very well this trip starting 17 times for six wins and six minors. In the money last time at this track (30.25) in an A4, finishing a 1.75 lengths second. Looks suited here and can measure up. KILKENNY KYTELER (4) has a strong overall record having three wins and five places from 11 starts but was out of the money last time when fourth (30.12) over 500m at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Rates a winning chance on best. FIRST CHOSEN (1) missed the frame two runs back then won at her latest appearance by a nose at this track over 500m (30.45). Rises a grade but expected to measure up.
