Hove Bags Race 8 - Bubbas Coming Of Age
VAHBELLE (1) Picked up nicely to win last start at this venue in 29.7s and showing consistent performance in races. Should be swooping on the field late. This field suits. BALLYMAC DRASHER (3) First up and displayed a good turn of foot when winning first up last preparation at Oxford. Expecting to settle positively. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. ANNADOWN WARRIOR (4) Subpar when 6th last start at the track. Happy to overlook that run. Has genuine claims in this race. ZENITH DUKE (6) 2yo debutant sired by Newinn Taylor for R P Rees. Watch betting.
