Hove Bags Race 8 - Carina's Canine Canter

INSPIRES (1) is long overdue for a win and in super consistent form, jumping from this trap to place last time at this track (16.84), making it six straight minors. Key player on best form. POCKET GUNNER (2) found some support last start but struggled into fifth (30.55), beaten 9 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Better than last start and can bounce back. SOUTHAFRIKKA (3) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 285m (16.98). Shapes as one to consider. SMALL BOSS (4) warrants respect with the drop in distance.
