Hove Bags Race 8 - Race 8

PIERRE GUN (5) jumped from trap five but quickly to the lead and gave a sight when second and beaten a nose (29.77) at this track in an A5 over 500m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Deserves serious consideration. IRRELEVENT (2) finished second two starts back before missing the placings at her latest appearance in an A4 at this track over 500m (30.53). Can do much better this easier company. PIPS GAMBLE (4) broke a string of placings finishing in the money three on end before a last start fourth (30.40) at this track. Leading chance. SLY BLUEBIRD (1) looks a chance coming off a five-and-a-half weeks layoff.
