Romford Bags Race 9

Rehome A Retired Greyhound

Prize Money: $758

THREAD OF HOPE (2) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 2 lengths (24.71) behind Sparkling Kerena at this track. Top chance in this line up. ROMAN CHAMP (6) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by one length last start at this track over 400m (24.86). Hard to knock winning form and expected to measure up despite the tougher grade. TIP TOP GHOST (5) was a course and distance placegetter (24.74) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 5 length third in an A8. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. LISTEN KELLY (1) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Showed scorching pace early but found one better when beaten 7 lengths over 400m this track in 25.03. Around the mark recently. Among the leading chances.

Hit the ground running with a sizzling early sectional and gave a sight but found one better when runner up at this track clocking 24.71. Should be right in the finish.

Hit the ground running with a sizzling early sectional but gathered in late to finish a 5 length fifth (25.36) at this track. Has failed to show enough to come into contention.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 575m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Likely to find this too tough.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at her latest appearance in an A8 at this track over 400m (24.74). Decent recent form so demands respect.
