Hove Bags Race 9

Gill Plastering Race

Prize Money: $734

BACKOFTHELINE (2) followed an A5 win two back with a sound second, beaten one length, in an A5 at this track over 500m (30.04). Suited this easier class and can find winning form. FRONT LOADED (4) filled the minor money three on end before breaking through for a deserved win last time, scoring at this track over 500m (30.00). Has definite claims. ROMANTIC RICHY (1) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at this track over 500m behind FRONT LOADED (30.54) in an A6. Placed at his previous run. Great chance to atone. MUSTANG MAVERICK (6) looks an each-way chance.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at her latest appearance in an A5 at this track over 500m (30.04). Can continue the solid form.

Could only manage fifth when resuming last start over 500m at this track in an A5 (30.30). Better for the run but looks tested this time.

Last start finished last in an A6 on January 31 over 500m at this track behind Pocket Lacey beaten 6 lengths (30.38). Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on his best form.
