Hove Bags Race 8 - Race 8

MONTALTO STAR (5) recorded a one length second in a D2 last time 16.69 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Rates a top chance. HYPERSHOCK (4) has some solid form under her belt and proved too classy last time to win by a head at this track in a handy 17.22 beating Butterbridge Lou. Should be in this for a long way. ANNUAL MASON (1) comes off a moderate effort last start, finishing fourth at this track over 285m behind The Hill (16.85). The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Can measure up this time. JOHN BOY HENRY (2) is in top form with back to back wins. Claimed a D4 two back then scored by 2.5 lengths in a D3 last time at this track over 285m (16.70). Faces stiffer opposition but hard to leave out.

Turned in a better effort over 285m at this track last start, finishing second behind Emmas Bee in a D2. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.
