Romford Bags Race 2

Welcome To Romford Stakes

Prize Money: $894

ZENITH SCORPION (1) was sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4.5 lengths third (24.15) over 400m at this track. Can find winning form. EMERSONS PEARL (3) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a third then scored by 2.25 lengths in an A3 last time at this track over 400m (24.11). Levels up but can win again with the confidence restored. SLIPALONG MOVE (2) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 400m behind Romantic Romeo (24.80) in an A2. Was a winner prior to that. Worth another chance. PIEMANS FLETCH (6) is worth some thought after placing at this track and distance last start.

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

Got back early in the race last start when sixth over 400m at this track. Before that won by 2 lengths at this track (24.41) beating Ten Fold in an A2 on March 31. Not likely to feature on this occasion.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a scorching early split, weakening late to finish a 4.5 lengths fifth (24.74) over 400m at this track. Other runners look much more appealing.

Form has been steadily improving. Last start finished third over 400m at this track in 24.37 behind Rolling Rocket. Hasn't been far away. Don't underestimate.
