Hove Bags Race 5

Race 5

Stake: $716

ANTIGUA BELLE (1) looks overdue after a minor placing two back then finishing third at her latest appearance in an A9 at this track over 500m (30.55). Drops a level and heading in right direction. Go close. GUN MAKER (5) hit the frame with a narrow third two runs back then claimed an A11 by 3 lengths at this track over 500m (30.86) last time. Faces tougher but hard to fault latest and worth including. RIFLE BULLET (6) looks a top-three chance while fresh. KANTURK TONY (3) jumps from trap 3 again after placing (30.79) last time at this track over 500m. This tougher but expected to be in the finish.

Not seen at best last start when he finished last in an A10 on March 28 over 500m at this track behind Pounding Sand beaten 6 lengths (31.12). Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A10 at this track over 500m (30.79). The one to beat.

Finished off last campaign with a fifth in an A10 over 500m at this track ten weeks ago. Looks one of the better hopes in the race.
