Romford Race 8

David Ballams 70Th Birthday

Prize Money: $597

HOLLYWOOD ICON (4) is down a grade after finishing fifth two starts back at Romford then was again out of the placings at his latest appearance in an A9 at Romford over 400m (25.06). Well placed this easier class and can find winning form. YACHT CHOICE (2) had been racing in honest fashion recording two placings in a row before finishing fifth (25.00) at Romford latest. Likely to be about the mark. BLACKROSE BOND (5) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by 6 lengths last start at Romford over 400m (24.89). Rises in grade but expected to measure up. CULLENTRA KING (3) is worth consideration.

Charged out of the boxes with a hot early sectional but gathered in and finished third (24.94) at Romford over 400m. Hard to entertain this time.

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up fifth (25.00) at Romford over 400m. Around the mark two starts back. Winning chance on that form.
