Romford Race 11

Under The Romford Lights

Prize Money: $891

ZENITH ZAZA (6) failed to come into contention last start after drifting back at Romford, but prior to that won easily by 6 lengths at Romford (24.07) beating Bombay Flash in an A1 on August 5. Can bounce back. VELVET ROLO (1) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors four on end. Last start rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (24.54) at Romford over 400m. Overdue and is among the main hopes. TOO SPICY (2) boasts a strong record this journey here with 10 wins and eight minors from 25 tries. Scored by 2.75 lengths last time (24.26) in an A1 over 400m at Romford. Suited here and expected to run well. ESSEX CRAZY (3) finished in the placings last start and deserves some thought.
