Hove Bags Race 1 - Race 1

HOPES CANDY (1) struggled in tougher grade last start after settling well back at this track, but prior to that won by a nose at this track (30.49) beating Yougo Finn in an A4 on July 23. Has a strong record out of this box with six wins and four minor placings from 14 starts. Has claims if she runs up to expectations. MILLERS GEM (6) carved over from wide out last start and boxed on strongly to finish 1.75 lengths away in third (30.10) behind Candolim Spice at this track. Will give a great sight again. MINSTRELS FIVE (3) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only 0.8 lengths (30.58) behind Ballyhimikin Pat at this track. Expecting another good run. POCKET HOLLIE (5) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.
