Romford Bags Race 2

Welcome To Romford Stakes

Prize Money: $792

BALLYBOY SEAN (5) was an effortless winner two back when prominent throughout then got further back last time but came home hard into third and beaten 4 lengths at this track (24.49). Strong form has emerged from his last run. Sure to be about the mark. REASONTOBELIEVE (1) tends to drift back and work into the race, finishing out of the placings two back before charging home into the minors latest when second (24.49) in an A3 at this track last time. Form at the trip sound including 10 wins. Expected to feature. HANNIPAUL LECTER (2) was unplaced two starts ago then improved to score last time out at this track over 400m (24.49). Goes up a notch but will give backers a sight. MICKEY BIGMAC (6) is worth including after a top-three finish at this track and distance most recently.

Finished second last start over 400m at this track behind Wonderful Pearl in an A3. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Goes very well from this draw including eight wins. Solid prospects.

Solid effort after tracking the speed to score in an A5 by nose at this track over 400m (24.49). Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed early with a sizzling early sectional before being gathered in late, finishing third (24.49) over 400m at this track. The form out of the last run measures up. Among the chances.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 400m. Won't find this any harder. Hard to beat with even luck.
