Hove Bags Race 1 - Race 1
THIRD GENERATION (3) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a narrow second then scored by 1.5 lengths in an A8 last time at this track over 500m (30.63). Rates well this line-up and is hard to go past. CLAIREKEITH DEXI (1) is down a grade after finishing fourth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at his latest appearance in an A6 at this track over 500m (30.55). Should enjoy this easier assignment. MERTONABY BEN (2) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten 1.75 lengths (30.33) behind Mad To Run at this track. Expected to feature again. KATES BART (6) hasn't been far away, finishing in the money twice in a row including last time in an A7 at this track over 500m.

Last start finished 4th in an A6 on October 28 over 500m at this track behind Kanturk Tony beaten 3 lengths (30.55). Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Finished in the money latest and looks close to a win. Settled off speed early and held position to finish second (30.33) at this track over 500m. Likely to be much improved on the experience. Top-three hope with the right run.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 1.5 lengths over 500m at this track in a handy 30.63, beating Punkrockrhapsody. Most reliable when jumping from this draw. Leading chance.

Good performance after tracking the speed to score on debut in an A9 by 3 len at this track over 500m (30.43). Likely to find this a bit tough.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 0.6 lengths into third over 500m at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 500m. Won't find this much tougher. Definite contender.
