Romford Bags Race 8

Gibbo Giants Stakes

Prize Money: $1,172

CROKERS BLUEBELL (4) broke well and quickly mustered speed to win over the 260m at Valley two runs back then prominent throughout when finishing second at Oxford last start. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to her name from seven starts. Good form should continue. DROOPYS PUPIL (2) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 400m behind Micks Amigo (24.57) in a OR3. Was in the money the start prior. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from five starts. Should be about the money. YAHOO POPPY (3) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 5 lengths (24.26) at this track. Must include in calculations. YOUNG BUCKS (5) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Comes off a (24.26) win last time, scoring by 5 lengths in an A5 over 400m at this track. Boasts good form here at the journey with four wins and four minor placings from 11 tries. Key chance on best figures.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed early with a sizzling early sectional before being gathered in late, finishing second (27.27) over 450m at Oxford. In form and can return to the winners' list.

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up fifth (24.59) at this track over 400m. Capable of taking this out.
