Hove Bags Race 5 - Hove Puppy Cup - Heat 2
ANNADOWN WARRIOR (6) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by 5 lengths (29.35) at this track in a OR over 500m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Sure to prove hard to beat. BOWMERS BUDDY (4) was a last start winner (29.30) at this track in a OR and will jump from trap 4 for the first time. Has never been out of the money in four starts this course. One of the key runners again. JIMMYJIMMYJIMMY (1) could manage only third at Monmore last time but impressed when clocking a dominant 28.52 over 480m at Monmore three starts ago. Must include on winning run three back. NEWINN JOLLY (2) has not raced here but still warrants respect.

Finished sixth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in a OR at Monmore. Racing well enough to play a big role.

Got back early in the race last start when fourth over 480m at Monmore. Before that won by 1.5 lengths at Monmore (28.67) beating Droopys Vicar in a OR1 on March 21. The form out of the last run measures up. Among the chances.

Showed a ton of speed to win on debut won easily by 5 lengths at this track (29.35) beating Slaneyside Ross in a OR on April 11. Will find this much tougher but he should put himself in the race early.
