Romford Bags Race 1

Romford Friday 10th July 2026 Pgr Meeting

Prize Money: $845

EARLY STORM (1) was strongly fancied last time but finished sixth (42.19) at Central Park, bringing a two-run winning streak to an end. The form from her last run stacks up well. Has ability and looks hard to stop. GALLANT KING (6) had been in super honest form hitting the frame five times on end before finishing fifth (24.73) at this track last time. Form here at the trip sound including 12 wins. Key player if finds best. BACON SURPRISE (3) three runs back clocked a quick 24.38 win over 400m at this track then has found the minor money in two runs since. Smart winner three back and looks a key chance on that form. GURTNACREHY HALO (2) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when sixth and beaten 12 lengths (42.19) in a OR over 664m at Central Park. Forgive the latest result. Looks hard to beat this time.

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (24.67) at this track over 400m. Looks a solid hope.

Placed last two, the latest showing sizzling pace early but gathered in and finishing third at this track in 24.84. Has never missed the frame in four starts from the draw. Solid prospects.

Moderate effort last start when she finished 4th over 575m at this track beaten 1.75 lengths (36.32) behind Ah Well in a S4 on June 22. Others hold stronger claims.
