Hove Bags Race 1 - Race 1
TROY SMOKIN JOE (4) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by a head at this track in a handy 30.47 beating Sharp Surprise. Will go close again if runs up to latest. CHISEM EMMY (1) scored a comfortable on pace win two back then gave a start but got home into the frame when third at this track (30.47). Has never missed the frame from three starts from this draw, including a win. Can measure up. MELBURY TYR (2) has a strong overall record having three wins and five places from 12 starts including a last start third (30.39) over 500m at this track. Meets a moderate line up and should run well. COURANCOVE CAT (3) gave nothing else a chance most recently. Must be respected.

Turned in a much better performance last start when third over 500m at this track in an A7. Worked home well on that occasion and should be closing well again. Among the chances with the right run.

Good performance after tracking the speed to score in an A9 by head at this track over 500m (30.47). Had been in fine form, hitting the frame two times on end, before a deserved win last time. Can go on with it.

Failed to impress last start over 500m at this track when beaten 10 len (30.66) behind Lupi Lopez on June 4. Happy enough to avoid.
