Hove Bags Race 3 - Race 3

MELBURY CURLY (4) hit the frame with a close-up second two runs back then claimed an A4 by a head at this track over 500m (29.82) last time. Goes up a level but key runner based on recent form. TRAP HAPPY (2) shapes well for this on his sharp win a few runs back, getting around this track over 500m in 29.94 then hitting the frame in both runs since. Rates a top chance if runs up to time three back. TIGHT LINES (3) is a last-start placegetter with solid claims again. INGRIDS WISH (5) can find the frame without surprising.

Finished third last start over 500m at this track behind Push Your Luck in an A3. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. More than capable and has to be included.
