Hove Bags Race 4 - Race 4

BU HAN TAG (6) was out of character last run when missing the frame, finishing fifth (30.29) in an A2 at this track. Generally a safe beginner but never in it last time. Has a good record here at this journey. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. GIN FOR TRACI (4) is generally an honest type in the frame at 14 of 33 starts but missed the placings last time when fourth (30.22) over 500m at this track. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. DEADLY RUBEN (1) finds it hard to break through. Has finished in the placings two on end now, the latest when third (30.16) at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from six starts. Expecting another good run. SLICK SCOUT (3) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Lines up for the first time over this trip. Last appeared when fourth over 285m at this track. With even luck and a clean start he should be prominent at the business end.
