Hove Bags Race 4 - Race 4
PLAYIT COOL TRIG (6) was a big winner two back scoring by 1.3 lengths then got further back last time but came home hard into second and beaten 2.5 lengths at this track (30.15). Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Leading chance again. TOMMYS GOODTIME (2) drew this same trap last time when in the minors (30.03) in an A2 over 500m at this track. Should be in this for a long way. JACKTAVERN LAB (5) is down a grade after finishing fifth two starts back at Central Park then was again out of the placings at his latest appearance in an A1 at this track over 500m (30.18). This easier so not to be underestimated. DROOPYS STRING (1) followed a moderate fifth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fifth, beaten 11 lengths, in an A1 at this track over 500m (30.53). No surprise to see him back in form.

Racing consistently, including a win three back at this track, before placings at last two runs, the latest when second (30.03) over 500m at this track. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 500m at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 2.5 lengths second (30.15) over 500m at this track last time. Has an excellent 29.42 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.
