Hove Bags Race 5 - Tony & Tania Diggines Derby
BACKOFTHELINE (2) is going well, filling a minor placing two back then was a 1.75 lengths winner of an A6 at this track over 500m (29.82). Hard to fault winning form and expected to feature despite the tougher grade. JOIN IN (1) broke from this trap and finished in the placings when a 1.75 lengths second in fast time (29.88) in an A4 at this track. Key chance on best form. GIN FOR LISA (4) was a (29.73) winner last time out at this track from Box 4. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Capable of going well again. CRYSTAL TILLY (3) comes here off a quick fourth in 29.87 latest. Don't underestimate on that time.
