Hove Bags Race 8 - Bubbas Coming Of Age
ANNADOWN WARRIOR (4) was out of the placings when sixth last time but prior to that produced a flying 29.35 win over 500m at this track. Has the ability and looks hard to top. VAHBELLE (1) was strongly fancied to break through last time and justified the confidence with a maiden win at this track over 500m (29.70). Expected to feature again. BEACHY BULLET (2) has been hard to follow lately, running fifth (30.09) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Can feature with the right run. ZENITH DUKE (6) is a R P Rees-trained newcomer by Newinn Taylor out of Glideaway Magic. Can sneak into the frame with the right run.

Good effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in a OR by 7 len at this track over 500m (29.70). Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
