Hove Bags Race 12 - Race 12

SHARP SURPRISE (6) Nice run placing 2nd last run around here in 30.63s. In fine form this preparation. No shock to see a win. ROMANTIC RICHY (1) Couldn't keep the pace going when 3rd last run at this venue in 30.69s. Displays good early speed. In good condition since coming back from a spell. Will go well. STOPOVER (2) Felt the pinch late when 3rd last time at this venue in 30.4s. Should be going forward early. Going well this preparation. Genuine threat. STONE COLD PUNK (4) Not competitive when 5th last start at this venue. Should bounce back. Has been a model of consistency since resuming from a spell. Worth a bet.
