Hove Bags Race 11

Race 11

Stake: $898

ROMEO SPARTA (6) had been racing well prior to his last start fifth at this track following an A3 win three back with a third placing. This looks easier and expected to bounce back. HOMETOWN (1) is going well, filling a minor placing two back then was a one length winner of an A4 at this track over 500m (29.75). Goes up a notch but will give backers a sight. POCKET GUNNER (2) chased the lead early from the inside draw but took over turning to score (29.76) at this track in an A5 over 500m. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. JESSE GEE JAMES (3) comes here following a placing in swift time (29.98) over 500m at this track. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only second over 500m at this track in 29.89. Leading contender.
