Romford Bags Race 9

Blackball Rancho 150Th Race

Prize Money: $792

SWIFT INDIGO (1) was a course and distance placegetter (24.63) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 1.3 lengths second in an A4. Expected to feature again. CRAFTY FRITTO (5) hit the ground running from trap five with a sensational early split last time, but run over late and missed the frame when a 3 length fifth (24.64) over 400m at this track. Should be in this for a long way. BLACKBALL RANCHO (6) followed a minor placing two runs ago with a plain effort last time to finish fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths, in an A3 at this track over 400m (24.51). This easier and can improve sharply. SPIT THE DUMMY (3) profiles nicely here at this trip.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but found one better when clocking 24.63 over 400m at this track. Boxed on well to finish runner-up last time. Leading player.

Winner two starts back at this track over 400m in 24.37. Last start filled a minor placing over 400m at this track in A4. Goes very well from this draw including nine wins. Solid prospects.

Comments

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished last on August 2 over 400m at this track behind Banteer Seamus beaten 3 lengths (24.64) in an A3. Recorded five placings in a row prior to the latest effort. Worth another chance.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a scorching early split, weakening late to finish a 2.25 lengths fourth (24.51) over 400m at this track. Looking to others this time.
