Romford Bags Race 8

Ashwells Greyhound Retirement Home

Prize Money: $721

SPARKLING KERENA (1) has a strong record this trip with nine wins and four placings from 23 starts. In the money last time at this track (24.80) in an A6, finishing a head second. Appeals as a leading chance in this. AH WELL (2) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish third last time, beaten behind Newtown Sinead at this track. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Can measure up. CONSTANTLY (4) has not raced since scoring (29.98) over 480m at Curraheen Park four-and-a-half months ago. Overall strike-rate good and can feature with the right run. BOBDATORTOISE (3) was in the money last start at this track and distance - poses a threat again.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only second over 400m at this track in 24.80. Goes very well from this draw including four wins. Leading player.

Comments

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 575m in a S3 at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.

Form of late has been fair. Unplaced two starts back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in an A6 at this track over 400m (24.81), beaten 2.75 lengths. Key runner on his best form.

Missed the frame when fourth (29.98) at Curraheen Park at last run of initial campaign and returns here after a four-and-a-half months break. Worth including among the chances.

Showed blistering pace early and gave a sight but gathered in and finished third over 400m this track in 24.71. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.
