Romford Bags Race 4

Romford Friday Night 500 Standard - Heat 2

Prize Money: $1,197

BOMBAY BUCK (5) has been a little hard to follow, missing the frame last time but was a OR3 winner three starts ago and has drawn 5 where he has 10 wins. Key player on best and worth another chance. JACKTAVERN DON (6) could not have been more impressive last start in his a dynamic 24.19 win at this track over 400m. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. HEADFORD WAYNE (4) is down a grade after missing the frame two back at Central Park then finished third at his latest appearance in a OR at this track over 400m (24.23). Worth another chance this far easier line-up. ZENITH JIMBOMBOM (2) will appreciate the drop in grade after following a moderate fifth two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fourth, beaten 3 lengths, in a OR at this track over 400m (24.43). This far easier so not to be underestimated.

Not seen at best last start when he finished 4th in a OR on August 22 over 462m at Great Yarmouth behind Aayamza Legend beaten 11 lengths (28.69). Hard to have this time.

Hit the ground running with a sizzling early sectional but gathered in late to finish a 3 length fourth (24.43) at this track. Has clocked a scorching 23.43 here at this trip. Can give a great sight.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a scorching early split, weakening late to finish a 5.5 lengths fourth (24.51) over 400m at this track. Happy enough to avoid.

Form has been steadily improving. Last start finished third over 400m at this track in 24.23 behind Piemans Goalie. Capable of a good showing.

Comments

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished last in a OR on August 21 over 400m at this track behind Piemans Goalie beaten 18 lengths (25.53). Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 23.58. Top chance.

Solid performance after taking an early lead to score in a OR by 1.75 len at this track over 400m (24.19). Had been in fine form, hitting the frame five times on end, before a deserved win last time. Can measure up again.
