Hove Bags Race 9 - Race 9

CHAIN OF HOPE (4) jumps from trap 4 again after finishing a 2.25 lengths third (30.02) last time at this track over 500m. Looks the one to beat on best. STRAIGHT SHOT (1) was a course and distance placegetter (30.13) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 2.5 lengths third in an A2. Has the ability and looks a key chance. GIN FOR TRACI (3) has a strong overall record having nine wins and 14 places from 34 starts but was out of the money last time when fourth (30.27) over 500m at this track. Performs well off this trap. Looks suited and expected to run well. BRENDAS BLUEBELL (5) followed a unplaced effort at this track two back with a sound third, beaten 1.1 lengths, last start in an A1 at this track over 500m (29.89). Watch for an even better run this easier company.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 500m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Would be better placed in something easier.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished 4th over 500m at this track beaten 5 lengths (30.27) behind Deadly Ruben in an A2 on August 12. Is a danger.

Finished sixth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 500m in an A1 at this track. Racing well enough to play a big role.
