Romford Race 3

Love Is In The Air Stakes

Prize Money: $773

ANNUAL ATTICUS (3) hit the ground running with a scorching early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 3.5 lengths fifth (25.01) over 400m at Romford. Looks the one to beat on his best form. PLAINS DRIFTER (6) hit the frame with a close-up third two runs back then claimed an A4 by 0.8 lengths at Romford over 400m (24.22) last time. Up a grade but hard to fault on that latest effort. A real threat again. TIP TOP NIAMH (1) jumped from this same draw and was close to the lead throughout before boxing on well and holding a 2 length third (24.48) at Romford over 400m in an A3. Worth another try. ANYTHING STRANGE (4) impressed last start, winning in good time. Worth consideration.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but could manage only third (24.48) over 400m at Romford. Capable of improvement.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 400m at Romford, adding to some plain results of late. Prefer in something easier.

Comments

Charged out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional recording 24.33 in a 0.8 lengths win at Romford last time. The form out of the last run measures up. Among the chances.

Comments

Solid effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A4 by 0.8 len at Romford over 400m (24.22). Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
