Romford Race 12

Greyhounds Make Pawfect Pets

Prize Money: $718

WINNING COMBO (6) was unplaced two starts ago then improved to score last time out at Romford over 400m (24.21). Key chance on latest effort and likely to feature again despite the rise in grade. VELVET ACE (2) missed the frame last time when sixth (25.56) at Romford but prior to that had two placings in a row. Solid record here winning two races. Has ability and is one of the better chances. DELLSER CLARA (1) was quickly into stride and found the front last start to record an all-the-way win (24.22) at Romford in an A8 over 400m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Sure to measure up. CRYSTAL NANCY (4) can fill a top-three spot.

Latest effort finished last over 400m at Romford beaten 15 lengths (25.56) behind Bingo Tina in an A6 on August 24. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up sixth (24.93) at Romford over 400m. This looks too tough.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fourth (24.75) over 400m at Romford. Has ability and worth including.

Hit the ground running last time and never headed, leading throughout to score an impressive 1.5 lengths win (24.21) at Romford. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
