Hove Bags Race 7 - Craig Kelly Stag Party

ROMANTIC RICHY (1) has been in super consistent form, last time breaking from this same trap when second in an A8 at this track (30.35) and making it six straight placings. Looks the one to beat on best. RIFLE BULLET (6) carved over from wide out last start and boxed on strongly to finish half a length away in second (30.32) behind Punk Rock Picard at this track. Leading player again. CHISEM JOHN (2) is going well, filling a minor placing two back then was a 0.8 lengths winner of an A9 at this track over 500m (30.42). Up a notch this time but in form and sure to give a good account. BEANOS ANDY (4) is a last-start placegetter with solid claims again.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just a nose into second over 500m at this track. Racing well enough to feature in the finish.

Latest effort finished 2nd over 500m at this track beaten half a length (30.32) behind Punk Rock Picard in an A7 on April 26. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
