Hove Bags Race 5

Premier Greyhound Racing Regency - 2Nd Semi-Final

Stake: $1,695

ROMEO EMPIRE (4) has an impeccable record this course and distance, winning all four starts. Recorded a 6 length win (41.56) in a OR1 last time at this track. Rates on top and should go close. ART RIDDLER (3) boasts a consistent overall record including nine wins from 37 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when second (41.59) over 695m at this track. Form at the trip sound including four wins. Rates a winning chance on best. VHAGAR (5) is on a hot streak of form, jumping from this trap to score last time at this track (41.61), making it four straight wins. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. ALRIGHT GORDY (6) is worth consideration after filling a hole at this course and distance last start.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in a OR1 at this track over 695m (41.59). Faces a stiffer test this time.
