Romford Bags Race 8

The Home Straight Showdown

Prize Money: $684

CATUNDA STEPH (4) continues to race in super honest form hitting the frame at seven of 14 career runs, winning two back before finishing third last time (24.86) over 400m at this track. Tends to go well on this trap. Rates highly here and will go close. EL REGRESO (5) stalked the lead after a clean break from trap 4 and went on to finish second (24.76) at this track in an A10 over 400m. Winning chance. CLASHEEN DIOR (6) last start finished 3rd in an A10 on June 6 over 400m at this track behind Whizzy Dot beaten 7 lengths (24.98). Looks one of the chances. TIP TOP KATIE (1) is going well, filling a minor placing two back then was a 0.8 lengths winner of an A11 at this track over 400m (25.10). Faces stiffer opposition but hard to leave out.

Caught the eye last time with a sizzling early split which set up a 0.8 lengths win at this track in 25.10. Should be around the mark.

Hit the ground running with a sizzling early sectional but gathered in late to finish a 1.5 lengths fourth (24.62) at this track. Prepared to overlook.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 400m. No easier here and looks up against it.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 2.75 lengths third (24.86) over 400m at this track last time. Most reliable when jumping from this draw. Leading chance.

Finished sixth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 400m in an A10 at this track. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow him up.
