Hove Bags Race 11 - Coral Sussex Cup - Heat 5

BLACKSTONE OPERA (1) is a promising dog in the frame at eight of 23 starts including nine wins and was in the minors again latest (30.56) over 515m at this track. Solid record here including seven wins. Looks a key player off the inside trap. SMOKESTACK SAXON (4) has an excellent record here having never missed the placings in four starts, including three wins. Recorded a 4.5 lengths win (29.43) in a OR last time at this track. Looks a key chance on best figures. GINGERS LAYLA (3) boasts a consistent overall record including five wins from 10 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when second (30.76) over 515m at this track. Has never been out of the money in six starts this course and distance. Will go close here with a clear run. SUSSEX CYCLONE (2) is down a grade after finishing fifth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at her latest appearance in a OR at this track over 515m (30.82). No surprise to see her back in form.
