Hove Bags Race 10 - Race 10

ROMANTIC RICHY (1) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage a neck away in second (30.17). Makes plenty of appeal. YAH YAH (2) has performed well at his last couple of runs here, most recently when third beaten 1.1 lengths (30.24). Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings eight times from 11 starts. Overdue and gets his chance. SHARP SURPRISE (6) has been out of the placings at his last couple but on the winners' heels when placing three back (30.31) in an A7 at this track. Can turn it around this time. CHISEM MIKE (3) is worth some thought after placing from the same draw last start.
