Hove Bags Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $734

SHINOBI GAIL (1) had been in super honest form hitting the frame four times on end before finishing fourth (30.53) at this track last time. Looks the one to beat on her best form. POCKET DARCEY (2) is a talented dog who is a winner of eight races but missed the frame last time when fifth at this track (30.49). Solid record here at the distance winning six races. Key runner on best form. DIGBYS MAVERICK (3) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 500m behind Punkrockrhapsody (30.57) in an A6. Placed at her previous run. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. ZARI MAHOONAGH (4) returns here with a good chance to improve on last time.

Finished off last campaign with a fifth in an A3 over 500m at this track six months ago. Looks a key chance fresh.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished last over 500m at this track beaten 8 lengths (30.57) behind Punkrockrhapsody in an A6 on February 1. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on her best form.
