ROMANTIC RICHY (1) is racing well, claiming an A7 win two back before finishing runner-up at his latest appearance in an A7 at this track over 500m (30.20). Top chance to return to winning form this easier line-up. SHARP SURPRISE (6) followed an A7 win two back with a fourth, beaten 4 lengths, in an A7 at this track over 500m (30.51) last time. Can do better this easier company. STONE COLD PUNK (4) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten half a length (30.62) behind Links Fantasy at this track. Will give a great sight again. BEANOS ANDY (3) is down a grade after finishing fifth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at his latest appearance in an A7 at this track over 500m (30.33). This easier so not to be underestimated.
