Hove Bags Race 2 - Race 2
LONG RUN (1) shapes well for this backing up an enormous 29.45 win with success at this track over 500m last time, recording 29.92. Recent figures good for this and can measure up again. HOMETOWN (2) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (30.16) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Key player on best and worth another try. DEADLY RUBEN (3) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at this track over 500m behind Westwind Ace (30.10) in an A1. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to his credit. Should be about the mark. ANNADOWN ZARA (6) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Recorded a nose win (29.92) in an A1 last time over 500m at this track. Boasts good form here at the journey with six wins and seven minor placings from 18 tries. Appeals greatly.

In the money two back then well supported last start but he finished 4th over 500m at this track beaten 2.5 lengths (30.16) behind Ballydarley Jack in an A1 on January 14. More than capable and has to be included.
