Hove Bags Race 11 - Race 11

CHAIN OF HOPE (4) has been in the frame at her last two runs, most recently when third (30.26) in an A2 over 500m at this track. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. DROOPYS INVASION (5) jumped from this trap last time and placed in an A2 at this track over 500m, finishing second (29.83). Has a very consistent record off this same box, including four wins and seven placings from 13 starts. Must include in calculations. RORY THE ARB (3) was in the minor money with a speedy 29.94, finishing third in an A2 at this track last start. Has the ability and looks a key chance. DROOPYS CRAFTY (1) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Got back early in the race last start when fourth over 500m at this track. Before that won by a nose at Central Park (29.74) beating Dans Peach in a OR on August 8. Is a danger.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 500m at this track. Cannot be taken lightly based on that sound recent effort.
