Romford Bags Race 8

Premier Greyhound Racing On Sky Sports Racing Red Button

Prize Money: $909

KILGOWAN BALAD (5) ran a decent 24.36 when filling a minor placing over 400m at this track last start. Expecting another bold showing. DUARIGLE DIAMOND (6) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by 2.75 lengths last start at this track over 400m (24.44). Up a notch this time but expected to measure up again. OLD FORT MONACO (4) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run. BOMBAY LEMON (1) jumped from this same draw and was close to the lead throughout before boxing on well and holding a 2.25 lengths second (24.40) at this track over 400m in an A4. Should be in this for a long way.

Showed scorching pace early but found one better when beaten 2.25 lengths over 400m this track in 24.40. Should be around the mark.

Moderate effort last start when she finished 4th in an A5 on March 28 over 400m at this track behind Bubbly Pestana beaten 10 lengths (25.30). Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Caught the eye last time with a sizzling early split which set up a half a length win at this track in 24.47. Had been in fine form, hitting the frame two times on end, before a deserved win last time. Can go on with it.

Could only manage fourth when resuming last start over 400m at this track in an A5 (24.89). Second-up record is sound and and is among the chances.

Flew the lids with a sizzling split and led throughout with a 2.75 lengths win over 400m at this track (24.44). Tough line-up and place prospects appear best.
