Hove Bags Race 5 - Race 5

FIRST CHOSEN (1) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fifth (30.91), beaten 5 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Looks the one to beat on her best form. GINGERS PADDY (3) comes off a (30.21) win last time, scoring by 4 lengths in an A6 over 500m at this track. Has three wins already from this trap. Looks well placed here and among the chances. HAZELHILL GEM (6) is first up since finishing fourth (30.52) in an A2 at this track over 500m three months ago. Looks well placed here and has the ability. Go well. SLY BIG BIRD (4) placed last start and is in the mix again.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 500m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Not keen, needs to lift.
