Hove Bags Race 12 - Race 12

MELBURY CURLY (3) comes here after a speedy win at this track over 500m in 29.83. In form and rates on top again. JOIN IN (1) jumps from trap 1 again after placing (30.48) last time at this track over 500m. Has the ability and can measure up. SKILFUL JACK (4) is down a grade after finishing fourth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at his latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 500m (30.58). This easier and can improve sharply. IM JUSTA RARITY (2) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to bounce back.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just a long neck into third over 500m at this track. The recent effort suggests she is ready to win.

Got back early in the race last start when fifth over 500m at this track. Before that won by 1.3 lengths at this track (29.94) beating Miss Swift in an A5 on December 26. Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.

Good performance after taking an early lead to score in an A5 by 1.5 len at this track over 500m (29.83). Can make it two on the bounce.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished last over 500m at this track beaten 10 lengths (30.58) behind Snazzy Mary in an A3 on January 22. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on his best form.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 500m in an A3 at this track. May find this a bit too tough.
