Hove Bags Race 2 - Race 2

DROOPYS DELUX (2) hasn't been far away, finishing in the money twice in a row including last time in an A3 at this track over 500m. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. AMBIGUOUS (4) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (29.94) from Box 4 at this track. Expected to feature. GROUCHOS PRINCE (6) missed the frame two runs back then won at his latest appearance by 2 lengths at this track over 500m (29.72). Goes up a notch but can measure up with a repeat of latest. SKILFUL JACK (3) hit the frame here last start so don't underestimate.
