Hove Bags Race 4 - Race 4

ELITE TIM (2) comes here off a placing in fast time (29.91) over 500m at this track. Hot time latest and looms as the one to beat. DROOPYS STRING (1) finished 5 lengths away in third last start over 500m at this track but in a respectable 29.70. Fast run latest and rates a key player again. ANNADOWN JACOB (5) hit the frame with a third two runs back then claimed an A3 by half a length at this track over 500m (29.94) last time. Goes up a notch but can measure up with a repeat of latest. SLICK MICK (3) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Turned in a better effort over 500m at this track last start, finishing third behind Playit Cool Trig in an A2. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 29.19. Top chance.
