Hove Bags Race 10

Race 10

Prize Money: $804

STRAIGHT SHOT (2) is worth including. LACKEN HOLLY (6) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 1.75 lengths at this track in a handy 29.94 beating Rebel Holly. Well placed and will be tough to beat. SKILFUL JACK (4) found some support last start but struggled into sixth (30.12), beaten 9 lengths. Finished third the start before. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to his name from four starts. Expected to feature in the finish. JOHNNY ROCKER (1) has a strong overall record having 17 wins and 36 places from 80 starts including a last start second (30.08) over 500m at this track. Meets a moderate line up and should run well.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten 1.5 lengths, last start in an A4 at this track over 500m (30.08). Racing well and is the one they have to overcome.

Got back early in the race last start when fifth over 500m at this track. Before that won by a neck at this track (30.07) beating Mineola Surprise in an A5 on April 11. Capable of much better. Worth keeping safe.

Solid effort after taking an early lead to score in an A5 by 1.75 len at this track over 500m (29.94). Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
