Hove Bags Race 3 - Coral Thursday Night 500 Standard - Division B

BLACKSTONE OPERA (3) had some strong recent form but was below best last time when sixth (30.81) in a OR1 at this track. Generally a good beginner but was buried in the ruck off the inside last time. Form here at the trip sound including eight wins. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Worth another chance. ALRIGHT ARTHUR (6) ran below his best last time finishing fifth (28.77) over 480m at Dunstall Park in a OR1. Form here is sound including two wins. Key runner on best form. VAHBELLE (1) finished well back at Dunstall Park last time when a 8 length fifth (29.18) but recorded best time of the card when winning five back. Has never been out of the money in three starts this course and distance. Great chance to atone. BALLYDOYLE TOBY (2) is one of the chances after a minor prize in a tight go last start.

Recent form has been ordinary, but she goes well at this track and distance with two wins from three starts. Is a danger.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just half a length into second over 500m at this track. Heading in the right direction and well placed to be very competitive.

Solid effort after taking an early lead to score in a OR by 0.5 len at this track over 500m (29.54). Other runners look much more appealing.
