Hove Bags Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $864

OUTLAW GUN (2) has been in super consistent form, last time breaking from this same trap when second in an A5 at this track (30.00) and making it three straight placings. Deserves another chance. WHERES POPPY (4) racing well without winning, placing at her last four runs. Last time finished 3rd in an A5 on January 12 over 500m at this track behind Crystal Bruno beaten 4 lengths (30.22). Comes out of a solid form race last start. Ready to find winning form. RIOJA MINSTREL (6) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (30.29) at this track in an A5. Can turn it around this time. HOPES CANDY (1) is worth some thought after placing as favourite last start.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 3.5 lengths third (29.96) over 500m at this track last time. Hasn't been far away recently and can feature in the finish.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten 3 lengths, last start in an A5 at this track over 500m (30.00). Sure to play a major role.

Latest effort finished 4th on March 29 over 500m at this track behind Pocket Gunner beaten 6 lengths (30.29) in an A5. Around the mark two starts back. Winning chance on that form.
