Hove Bags Race 2 - Race 2

FANTASTIC AURORA (1) is going better than form suggests, missing the frame last time at this track but was placed three back followed by a close up fourth. Better than last run and makes appeal this time. FAROUT CIAN (4) is long overdue for a win and in super consistent form, jumping from this trap to place last time at this track (30.72), making it three straight minors. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. SMASHNGRABPUNK (2) followed a moderate fourth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fifth, beaten 12 lengths, in an A9 at this track over 500m (30.83). Worth another chance this line-up. HARLEQUIN MANILA (3) followed a moderate fourth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fourth, beaten 5 lengths, in an A9 at this track over 500m (31.03). Watch for a better run this easier company.
