Hove Bags Race 9 - Coral Thursday Night 500 Maidens - Division A
WASTEHOUSE MIX (6) finished fifth last time (30.57) at this track after winning at his previous two outings. Form here sound including three wins. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Better than last start and worth following up. WAITININTHEWINGS (2) won by 2 lengths last start at this track 500m in a useful 29.92. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. BOWMERS BUDDY (1) is in consistent form, jumping from this same trap when a 3 length second in an A4 at Romford and making it back to back minors. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. HEAD FOR HOME (3) has to be respected despite coming off a six months break.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Romford then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A4 at Romford over 400m (24.34). Expected to measure up.

Good effort after racing on the speed to score in an A2 by 2 len at this track over 500m (29.92). Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this trap. Sure to go well.

Finished second over 500m at this track (29.97) at the last run six months ago. Usually fires fresh, having never missed the top three from three starts. Top-three chance.

Not seen at best last start when he finished last in a OR on January 10 over 664m at Central Park behind Good Rainbow beaten 13 lengths (41.95). Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Below his best last time over 500m at this track (30.57) in an A1, finishing 11 lengths away in fifth. Boasts good form here at the journey with three wins and two minor placings from eight tries. Leading contender.
