Hove Bags Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: $587

JOHN BOY HENRY (2) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at his last three starts, the latest jumping from this same trap when second in a D4 at this track (17.00). Expected to feature again. COPPICE ARTHUR (1) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 1.3 lengths at this track in a handy 30.45 beating Front Loaded. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Should feature again. FLYERS GEEZER (6) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 1.75 lengths (17.12) at this track. Likely to be about the mark. NATURAL WORLD (3) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished last on April 2 over 500m at this track behind Minstrels Five beaten 8 lengths (30.63) in an A6. Capable of much better. Worth keeping safe.
