Hove Bags Race 7

Race 7

Prize Money: $795

SKILFUL JACK (3) was prominent throughout when winning in one of the fastest times of the card two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished 5th and beaten 5 lengths at this track (30.13). Should bounce back. CRYSTAL TILLY (2) looks well placed here following an A2 win two back before finishing sixth at her latest appearance in an A2 at this track over 500m (30.31). Should enjoy this easier assignment. Expected to feature. GROUCHOS PRINCE (6) followed a moderate fifth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish sixth, beaten 2.5 lengths, in an A2 at this track over 500m (30.91). Capable of a lot better this class. KILLACOLLA MIKE (1) generally performs well here at this distance.

Last start finished last in an A2 on November 6 over 500m at this track behind Seomra Hachi beaten 6 lengths (30.31). Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when fifth and beaten 5 lengths (30.13) in an A3 over 500m at this track. Deserves another chance.
