Hove Bags Race 4 - Toby Banford 18th Birthday!
BOWMERS BUDDY (1) has a strong overall record having six wins and 11 places from 25 starts including a last start third (44.80) over 740m at this track. Has never missed the frame at the trip from three starts. Has the inside draw and looks tough to beat. BOMBAY NUTTY (6) doesn't show much early dash but winds into his races and is overdue, hitting the line hard to place latest (44.95) in a OR1 at this track and making it three minors in a row. Has a good record here including two wins. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings five times from eight attempts. Expecting another good run. FRANKYS BULLET (5) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 6 last run (40.07) at Central Park. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Must be included in calculations. EAGLES RESPECT (3) hit the frame here last time and looks a chance again.

Moderate effort last start when he finished 4th in a OR1 on October 25 over 740m at this track behind Candolim Typhoon beaten 5 lengths (45.25). Hard to tip with any confidence.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 500m in a OR3 at this track. Cannot be taken lightly based on that sound recent effort.
