Hove Bags Race 5

Race 5

Stake: $933

MY MATE RONNIE (1) is in top form with back to back wins. Claimed an A5 two back then scored by a neck in an A3 last time at this track over 500m (29.97). Expected to measure up despite the tougher class. SPORTING BAFTA (3) could not have been more impressive a few runs back in his outstanding 29.55 win at this track over 500m then has finished in the placings in both runs since. Must include on winning run three back. BOWLES BULLET (4) continues to race in super honest form hitting the frame at 22 of 50 starts runs and has won two of last three, the latest winning (29.75) over 500m at this track. Tends to go well on this trap. Expected to feature on best form. ROANNA ZARA (2) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.
