Hove Bags Race 2

Race 2

Stake: $873

POCKET HOLLIE (6) beaten last start over the 500m at this track but finished in the minors in a respectable 29.91. Hard to top on the time from last start. NAVY BULLET (1) racing well without winning, placing at her last four runs. Last start finished 2nd in an A5 on January 31 over 500m at this track behind First Chosen beaten a head (30.13). Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings five times from five starts. Expected to be in the finish again. SKILFUL JACK (4) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Droopys Roster (30.23) in an A4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Expected to be in the finish again. OPPOSITE OPINION (3) comes into calculations after placing in a tight finish most recently.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just half a length into second over 664m at Central Park. Racing well enough to play a big role.

Finished third last start over 500m at this track behind Droopys Roster in an A4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. This appears within his reach.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish second over 500m at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.
