Romford Bags Race 12

Bark And Dash Stakes

Prize Money: $605

HILLEND JOAN (1) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing fourth (25.30) at this track last time. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Has ability and is a key runner. DISTANT DIANA (6) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (24.83) last time in an A9 at this track. Cannot be taken lightly. MINNIES SOFIA (3) jumped from this trap last time and also the same course and distance when a 6 length third (24.93) in an A9. Has the ability and can measure up. VELVET MURILLO (2) was unplaced here last start but gets his chance to atone.

Comments

In the money two back then well supported last start but she finished 4th in an A9 on June 17 over 400m at this track behind Da Young Lad beaten 9 lengths (25.30). The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fifth (24.95) over 400m at this track. Racing well and has to be included.
