Hove Bags Race 6 - William Roberts 80th Birthday
MINSTRELS FIVE (4) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 2.5 lengths at this track in a handy 29.86 beating Avarua Sarah. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. ART RIDDLER (1) missed the frame last time when fourth (42.42) at this track but prior to that had two placings in a row. Has a good record at this journey. Solid formlines coming through his last run. One of the main contenders. BRONCOS BULLET (5) hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior rocketed around 695m at this track in 41.83. Expected to feature on best figures. SWIFT JARVIS (2) has top-three aspirations after placing last time.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 695m at this track. The recent effort suggests he is a genuine hope.

Form slipped last start when he finished 5th on October 1 over 695m at this track behind Candolim Typhoon beaten 15 lengths (42.85) in a OR3. Other runners look much more appealing.
