Hove Race Fields - 21st Nov 2023

QUARTERLAND ZARA (trap 2) was only in action a few days ago and may well have enough fire in her belly to get the job done against these. Whitings Ghost (trap 6) can be expected to give a good account and she could be hunting up the tip late on. Amicable (trap 3) will be brimming with confidence following her success not that long ago.

SOBS (trap 3) may prove difficult to beat if enjoying a clear run and he is probably where most of the money will be going in this contest. Smooth As Satin (trap 1) is expected to be in the heat of battle at the finish, so rates a leading contender. Optic Rambo (trap 5) can be around at the close of play and hit the frame.

KERRS LUNCH (trap 4) is fancied to annex top prize from this contest and he should just need to avoid serious bother to get the job done. Hellofawhatever (trap 6) invariably has the weight of money on his back and justifiably so. Kesboro Ted (trap 3) makes a quick reappearance and can make the frame.

The confidence of GINGERS TINA (trap 2) will be high following her recent success and she will fear few in this field either. The spirited victory of Robbos Rebel (trap 1) is noted and his penalty doesn't look too severe. Will the drop in class work for Giddys Ace (trap 3)? It may well do so.

LIGHTFOOT STEVIE (trap 1) looks different class to these and could wrap things up a long way from home if getting away to a half-decent start and holding his position. Pennys Vista (trap 2) is often in demand in the market and his supporters are likely to only be fearing the selection. Punk Rock Stella (trap 5) is well worth a second look and could make the placings.

NEON MOON (trap 1) will probably be put in short by the bookies and, such is his chance in this contest, he is unlikely to get much bigger in price. Distant Oscar (trap 5) has a decent-enough chance and has the selection to beat. Skilful Cavani (trap 3) could be long odds but isn't without a chance of getting involved.

The chances of VOLTAGE FLYER (trap 6) are well above average and she certainly ticks more boxes than the opposition. On that basis, she is hard to oppose. On balance of form, Newinn Shiner (trap 1) has a squeak but that'll become a big shout if avoid early aggro. Droopys Elk (trap 5) could make the frame with experience of these surroundings.

On overall profile, it will be disappointing if INSANE MISTRESS (trap 5) doesn't make a meaningful contribution today and a winning run is anticipated. Paradise Hailey (trap 1) wouldn't need to find a great deal on her qualifying efforts and looks the biggest threat. Paige Girl (trap 3) will be as keen as mustard to get going but could be vulnerable late on.

ANTIGUA BELLE (trap 1) can often attract the lion's share of the market and the same can be expected here as she looks like being a roaring success! There's no reason why The Big Cheese (trap 6) shouldn't run a big race and put it up to the selection. Floppy And Tim (trap 2) has less to do and should play a part.

It is hoped that BANGON ESCOBAR (trap 6) will be in there pitching at the close of play and get his nut down where it matters to secure the prize. Mr Two Spoons (trap 1) doesn't give up the ghost and is a contender especially if getting first run on the pick. Pocket Baba (trap 4) needs to be full throttle from the start to fend these off.

There'll be few more popular choices at the meeting than SWIFT UNITY (trap 2) as she should simply leave these opponents toiling in her wake. Sussex Belle (trap 6) is baking hot at present and is sure to give another good account. Glenside Blue (trap 3) has a role to play if things go to plan through the early stages.

GET ON HARLOW (trap 2) would seem to hold as good a chance as any in this field and she is the preference to be bossing these at the wire. Delicious Gossip (trap 5) has a good initial burst and he will be attempting to roast his rivals mid-race. Awareness (trap 4) soon gets to grips with things but may not be able to get clear.
