Hove Bags Race 5 - Dylan Law Birthday Trophy
DEADLY RUBEN (3) followed a moderate fifth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fifth, beaten 6 lengths, in an A2 at this track over 500m (30.28). Well placed this easier class and can find winning form. PIPS GAMBLE (4) in the money last time at this track (30.01) in an A2, finishing a 4 length second. Can feature with the right run. CROSSFIELD CRAIG (2) jumped well from this trap last time and was prominent throughout before holding third (29.85) in an A3 at this track over 500m. Key chance on best form. MERTONABY LAD (6) is not to be discarded.

Continued her good run of form last start when finished 3rd on March 19 over 285m at this track behind Dereks Champ beaten 4.5 lengths (16.94) in a OR. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when second and beaten 4 lengths (30.01) in an A2 over 500m at this track. Well placed and can bounce back.
