Hove Bags Race 3

Race 3

Stake: $860

ROMEO SPARTA (6) drew the outside trap and was game in defeat when only 0.8 lengths from the winner Cant Buy Time (30.16) at this track. Can find winning form. DOUBTFUL HONEY (3) stalked the lead from trap four before hitting the front turning and lifting to score (29.95) at this track in an A7 over 500m. Leading chance again. KERRS BRAVEHEART (2) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Up The Pace (30.07) in an A6. Has the pace to be prominent. The form from his last run stacks up well. Leading chance. CLAIRKEITH JNELA (4) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.3 lengths into third over 500m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just one length into third over 500m at this track. Heading in the right direction and well placed to fill another top-three spot.

Missed the placings three back but unbeaten in two runs since, the latest claiming an A7 in 29.95 over 500m at this track. Top chance to chalk-up the hat-trick.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 0.8 lengths into second over 500m at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.
