Central Park Bags Race 10

Poppadom Tom 50th Race

Prize Money: $1,067

SIMON JOHN (6) has mixed form recently, finishing sixth (29.96) in an A1 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Look for sharp improvement here. SWIFT YESTERDAY (1) hit the frame with a second two runs back then claimed an A2 by half a length at this track over 491m (29.70) last time. In winning form and worth following up despite rising a grade. IM AFRAID NOT (5) has been out of the placings last two but shapes well for this if she can recapture her sharp win a few runs back, getting around this track over 491m in 29.62. Expected to feature on best figures. ALWAYS HOFFA (2) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2.5 lengths fourth (29.69) over 491m at this track.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a sensational early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fifth (29.56) at this track over 491m. Has ability and looks a winning hope.
