Romford Bags Race 3

Romford Friday Night 500 Maiden - Heat 1

Prize Money: $1,077

PATRICIAS GIFT (1) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (23.99) at this track behind Loughmore in an A1. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Sure to be about the mark. HEADFORD SARAH (5) had trap 4 last start and ran well to finish third, beaten 1.5 lengths, (24.44) at this track. Expected to feature again. ALWAYS HOFFA (3) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (27.55) last time in an A2 at Oxford. Solid record at the distance winning eight races. Cannot be left out. BONVILLEFAVORITE (4) makes debut for the M L Locke kennel. Market should provide a lead to her ability.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 400m in an A1 at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.

Below best last start when she finished 4th on April 3 over 253m at Oxford behind Showemyourtail beaten 6 lengths (15.57) in a D1. This looks too tough.

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (27.55) at Oxford over 450m. Has ability and can run well.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 400m. Won't find this any harder. Right in this.
