How Our Other Runners Fared

Three of our ‘team’ finished in the runners-up spot today and one of those was Cellini who is running really well at present. She was up in grade for a win last Sunday but was only beaten a Short Head by the Jason Heath trained Sarasota Pearl in the A3 at 5-07. Cellini was quick away and led to near the line clocking 30.47 (-10) 30.37 calculated.

Avite Becky was also 2nd today when running in the A8 at 3-07. She showed early pace and led to the 3/4 mark before being worn down by the Doreen Walsh trained Express Cupid. Avite Becky was beaten 1 length clocking 30.74 (-10) 30.64 calculated. Pretty In Blue lined up in this event and despite holding every chance was beaten 5 lengths clocking 31.07 (-10) 30.97 calculated in 5th place.

Watch Matt was our third runner to finish second. He was soon into his stride and led to the run in before going down by two lengths to the Paul Garland trained Newtown Skipted. Watch Matt clocked 30.69 (-10) 30.59 calculated in the A5 at 5-38.

Donnas Gift was fourth in the A6 at 2-47 but was beaten little more than 1/2 a length! He was quick away and led at the 1/4 mark before being crowded around the final two bends. Donnas Gift clocked 30.70 (-10) 30.60 behind the Seamus Cahill trained winner Coomlogone Frank.

Judicial Babe was 3rd in the A7 at 3-48 when crowded at the 1/4 and 3/4 mark. She clocked 31.30 (-10) 31.20 calculated when three lengths behind the Wendy Short trained winner Jebs Gamble.

On Your Lonesome was beaten just over three lengths when 4th in the D1 sprint at 4-08. He was quick away but crowded at the first bend when clocking 16.95 (-5) 16.90 calculated behind the winner Rabbits Pier who’s trained by Jason Heath.

Lobelia showed early pace in the A5 at 5-56 and led from the first bend to the second. She faded into 5th place some five lengths behind the Jason Heath trained winner Squidge Sibson. Lobelia clocked 30.84 (-10) 30.74 calculated.

JUST THE SEVEN RUNNERS ON THE FRIDAY MORNING HOVE CARD

FRIDAY 11th April HOVE Runners                (Subject to Alteration)

Pennys Peewee has been runner-up on her last two runs and should have every chance on recent times when lining up for the D1 sprint at 11-57.

Monleek Diamond had a good win in this grade at the end of March and Sporting Tracey is in good form and has won five races already this year! Both our runners race in the A3 at 12-12 and they face some useful rivals in a tightly graded event.

Glenvale Rosie is running well but was a beaten favourite on her latest run. She won from this draw on the 19th March and should again run well in the A11 at 12-27.

Classy Molly has not had a clear run in her last seven outings and must avoid trouble in the A7 at 1-27 to have any chance. Release The Ace is among her opponents and he goes up a grade for his win last Saturday night!

Graiguenoe Royal has been sent off at big odds for his last three runs but he could prove value if getting his break right in the A5 at 1-58.
