Hove Bags Race 12 - Race 12

SWAP AROUND (4) had the drop on the lead before drawing clear to score (30.06) at this track in an A7 over 500m. Well placed and will be tough to beat. MERTONABY LAD (6) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a close-up second then scored by 4 lengths in an A5 last time at this track over 500m (30.37). Up a notch this time but expected to measure up again. AZURA SKYE (3) 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 an A3 at this track over 500m (30.14). This easier so don't rule her out. SLY BLUEBIRD (1) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.
