Hove Bags Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $671

JOHN BOY HENRY (2) was rewarded for his honesty after three minors on end with a deserved win last time, scoring at this track over 285m (16.99). Hard to go past. HONEY EXPERT (6) missed the frame last time but before that recorded the quickest win (16.75) on the program at this track in a D3. Well placed here and should do much better. SMALL BOSS (4) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a third then scored by a nose in a D4 last time at this track over 285m (16.93). Facing tougher but in form and not to be underestimated. TAYLORS MELODY (1) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing.

Solid effort after taking an early lead to score in a D4 by 1.3 len at this track over 285m (16.99). Was in the money three on end before breaking through last start. Stick with him.
