Hove Bags Race 2 - George Curtis & Ballyregan Bob Memorial - 1st Semi-Final
VHAGAR (5) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 44.59 beating Zenith Boom. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Looks the one to beat. BOWMERS BUDDY (3) was strongly fancied last time but finished second (44.71), beaten a nose. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Can measure up. UNDERGROUND NAVY (2) broke from a low draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only half a length (44.88) behind Candolim Typhoon at this track. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Well-placed to take this out. BALLYMAC MADGIE (1) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three at this track and distance most recently.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when third and beaten 4.5 lengths (44.95) in a OR1 over 740m at this track. Nicely placed to atone.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at her last three starts, the latest when second (44.88) over 740m at this track. The form from the last run stacks up nicely. Worth following up.

Resumed last time out with a solid second over 740m at this track in a OR1 (44.71). Will strip fitter and is a leading contender.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 740m at this track. Faces a tough assignment this time.

Comes off a (44.59) win last time, scoring by half a length in a OR1 over 740m at this track. Good strike-rate here at this journey with two wins from three starts. Expected to go well.
