Hove Bags Race 1 - Race 1

LOSE CONTROL (1) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 6 lengths at this track in a handy 30.11 beating Clairkeith Rayna. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. CLASSIC BUCKO (2) jumped from this trap last time and also the same course and distance when a head second (30.27) in an A5. Has the ability and can measure up. RIOJA MINSTREL (6) recorded a 2.5 lengths second in an A5 last time 30.07 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Should be in this for a long way. SHOTGUN JIM (3) is worth consideration.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 500m in an A5 at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish second over 500m at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow him up.
