Romford Bags Race 5

Romford Retired Greyhound Stakes

Prize Money: $645

ORANGE MAIREAD (5) hasn't been far away here at the last two, finding the frame both times, most recently when third beaten 3 lengths (24.89). Expected to be in this for a long way. LISTEN FLOWER (2) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by half a length last start at this track over 400m (24.67). Tackles tougher grade here but in form and looks a contender again. BACK TO FRONT (1) was a course and distance placegetter (24.69) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 0.8 lengths second in an A7. Has the ability and looks a key chance. UNDERGROUND SYD (4) drew trap 4 last start and was game in defeat when a close second, half a length from Abbeyside Bono (24.81) at this track. Expected to feature.

Good performance to score in an A8 by 0.5 len at this track over 400m (24.67). Has hit winning form and can go on with it.

Moderate effort last start when she finished last in an A7 on December 9 over 400m at this track behind Abbeyside Bono beaten 6 lengths (25.22). Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just half a length into second over 400m at this track. Heading the right way looks well placed to salute.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 400m. Won't find this much tougher. Definite contender.
