Hove Bags Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $800

CRYSTAL BUSTER (4) has been out of the placings at his last two outings but shapes well for this if he can recapture his dynamic win a few runs back, getting around this track over 500m in 29.62. Expecting another bold showing. ROANNA ZARA (2) was last seen getting around 500m at this track in a respectable 29.92 for a one length victory. Has the ability and expected to go close again. SHARP BOBBY (6) was in the money last start from this box - poses a threat again. POCKET DARCEY (3) boasts a consistent overall record including four wins from 12 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when second (30.54) over 500m at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Has a good overall strike-rate and can find the frame here.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 500m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Tested under these conditions.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 500m. Won't find this much tougher. Must be included.

Last start finished 4th in an A3 on January 11 over 500m at this track behind Gortin Smasher beaten 10 lengths (30.79). Most reliable when jumping from this draw. Leading chance.
