Hove Bags Race 4

September Dog Of The Month - Simba Boy

Prize Money: $768

LETTER EILEEN (2) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 1.5 lengths away in fourth (30.20). Finished third the start before. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. GINGERS BAILEYS (1) had been racing well prior to his last start fourth at this track following an A6 win three back with a second placing. Well placed here and should do much better. FRONT LOADED (3) latest effort finished 2nd over 500m at this track beaten 3 lengths (30.28) behind Tommys Goodtime in an A4 on November 26. Can feature with the right run. RIOJA MINSTREL (5) was out of the money two runs back then improved sharply last time to score at this track over 500m (30.21). Goes up a notch but will give backers a sight.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th over 500m at this track beaten 2 lengths (30.46) behind Hopes Candy in an A5 on November 27. Has a very good strike-rate out of trap 1, scoring three times. Go close.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th over 500m at this track beaten 1.5 lengths (30.20) behind My Mate Ronnie in an A5 on November 30. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 3 length second (30.28) over 500m at this track last time. Looks a solid hope.

Good effort to score last start by a nose over 500m at this track in 30.21, beating Sharp Bobby. Can keep things rolling.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 500m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Can't recommend against this lot.
