Romford Bags Race 1

The Betting Buddies Stakes

Prize Money: $936

NEWTOWN CHAMP (2) has a strong record here with four wins and two placings from 10 starts. In the money last time at this track (24.69) in an A1, finishing a 4 length third. Looks a leading chance on best. BETTING BUDDIES (5) is an honest type in the frame at 14 of 28 starts including last time when third (24.37) over 400m at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Rates a winning chance on best. MIAMI SAPPHIRE (3) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 4th and beaten 8 lengths at this track (24.51). Worth another chance. GALLANT KING (6) comes off a big run when finishing third in an outstanding 24.19 last time. Has claims on that run.

Hit the ground running with a sizzling early sectional and gave a sight but found one better when runner up at this track clocking 24.59. In the money last time but has the job ahead.

Form slipped last start when he finished last over 400m at this track beaten 8 lengths (24.56) behind Piemans Goalie in an A2 on December 27. Likely to find this too tough.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but could manage only third (24.37) over 400m at this track. Key chance on best form.
