Hove Bags Race 7 - Race 7
TROY SMOKIN JOE (4) has good credentials for this, winning an A8 two back before finishing runner-up at his latest appearance in an A8 at this track over 500m (30.99). Should enjoy the drop in grade and looks a leading hope. SHARP SURPRISE (6) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by 1.5 lengths at this track in a handy 30.64 beating Southdowns Rose. Should be in this for a long way. ROMANTIC RICHY (1) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind SHARP SURPRISE (30.83) in an A9. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Must be included in calculations. CHISEM MIKE (3) was in the money last start here at this trip - likely to feature again.

Finished third last start over 500m at this track behind Sharp Surprise in an A9. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Right in the mix here.

Got back early in the race last start when fourth over 500m at this track. Before that won by a neck at this track (30.42) beating Bluestar Gunner in an A9 on May 9. This will test.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 1.75 lengths into second over 500m at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow him up.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 500m. Won't find this any harder. Right in this.

Solid performance after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A9 by 1.5 len at this track over 500m (30.64). Should be prominent.
