Hove Bags Race 9 - Race 9

ALRIGHT GRACE (3) recorded her best time this course and distance latest, finishing a 1.5 lengths second behind Dawncourt Dolly in 30.12. Expected to go close if runs up to latest. TROY SMOKIN JOE (4) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at his last four runs. Last start finished 3rd over 500m at this track beaten a neck (30.51) behind Harley Quinn in an A8 on September 27. Overdue and is among the main hopes. BOOMTOWN BUSTER (2) showed ability on debut filling a minor placing when second (30.43) at this track over 500m. This looks easier and expected to improve further. FERRYFORTH ZARA (5) is in fine form and looks a good top-three chance again.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 500m in an A7 at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

Settled off speed but got home well on debut to finish second (30.43) over 500m at this track. Eye-catching debut and among the chances again.
