Hove Bags Race 12 - Race 12

CLASSIC BUCKO (1) draws the red and has two recent 500m Hove wins plus a close 2nd here on Apr 22 before an A3 fifth last time; he looks the one to beat. TOMMYS GOODTIME (2) comes off a narrow A3 2nd over 500m on May 6 and won an A4 two back, so rates a key chance. MILLERS GEM (5) was 3rd in that May 6 A3, beaten 0.74L, and has two April wins to his name. HANG TIGHT HONEY (4) has twice been runner-up at 500m this month after an A4 win on Apr 19 and can figure again. AVARUA FLOJO (3) drops from A2 and A1 assignments, with an A1 2nd on Apr 17, and adds depth.
