Hove Bags Race 1 - Race 1

SHARP SURPRISE (6) is going well, filling a minor placing two back then was a 0.8 lengths winner of an A10 at this track over 500m (30.59). Up a level this time but hard to knock latest effort. Stick with him. SMASHNGRABPUNK (1) used the inside draw to advantage to get the prize last time at this track and distance (31.01) after forging to the front and leading throughout, scoring by a nose. Expected to be in the finish. STONE COLD PUNK (3) jumps from trap 3 again after finishing a long neck third (30.68) last time at this track over 500m. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. JAZS DOVE (2) is always a threat when she draws this box.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 500m in an A9 at this track. Better last time but not convinced this is her race.
