Hove Bags Race 3

Race 3

Stake: $865

FIVE WINTERS (2) was narrowly beaten when placing two back but missed the frame latest finishing fifth (30.07) in an A4 at this track. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. CLAIREKEITH MERY (4) is down a grade after finishing fourth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at her latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 500m (30.04). Hard to beat if anywhere near her best. JOHNNY ROCKER (1) has been freshened and can sneak into the frame on his best form. SHARP BOBBY (6) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Trap Happy (30.07) in an A4. Chased the leaders and with a clean run can be prominent. Winning chance.

Missed the frame when sixth at over 500m this track at his last run ten weeks ago. Has had three runs first-up and has placed once. Looks a key chance while fresh.

Latest effort finished last in a HDLE OR on January 12 over 540m at Crayford behind Razldazl Barkley beaten 19 lengths (36.02). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Moderate effort last start when she finished 4th in an A3 on March 1 over 500m at this track behind Sussex Lily beaten 2.75 lengths (30.04). This looks too tough.

Turned in a better effort over 500m at this track last start, finishing third behind Trap Happy in an A4. Capable of playing a big role.
