Romford Bags Race 11

Droopys Saoirse Centenary Race

Prize Money: $893

DISTANT HIKER (3) turned in a moderate effort last time when fifth at this track over 400m behind Distant Rover (24.83) in an A1. Placed at his previous run. Can make amends. VELVET ROLO (2) boasts a strong record this journey with eight wins and five minors from 17 tries. Comes off a (24.19) win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths in an A1 over 400m at this track. Suited here and expected to run well. FUNKY ADZ (5) comes here following a placing in fast time (24.31) over 400m at this track. Harder here but expected to measure up. DROOPYS SAOIRSE (1) has strong claims after a long-odds top-three finish last time out.

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

Flew the lids with scorching early pace and clocked 24.19 in a 1.5 lengths win over 400m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 5th in an A1 on June 27 over 400m at this track behind Distant Rover beaten 8 lengths (24.83). Looks a strong winning hope.

Hit the ground running with a hot early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when second (24.31) at this track. Has run blistering time here with a 23.98 PB at the distance.
