Romford Bags Race 11

Hrh Romford Retired Greyhounds

Prize Money: $871

CROSSFIELD FINN (3) goes very well at the course and distance with two wins and a placing from five starts. Recorded a 5.5 lengths win (23.81) in an A2 last time at this track. Looks a key chance on best form. VELVET ROLO (1) is better than last start when fourth (24.62) in an A1 at this track over 400m. Form here at the trip sound including seven wins. Leading chance. TIP TOP NITRO (6) is worth forgiving for his last effort when fifth (24.74) at this track over 400m. Goes very well from this draw with seven wins and four minor placings from 16 starts. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. TOO SPICY (2) missed the frame latest (24.72) when sixth over 400m at this track in a OR. Has seven wins already from this trap.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fourth (24.62) over 400m at this track. Excellent record from this draw, including six wins. Go well.

Got back early in the race last start when sixth over 400m at this track. Before that won comfortably by 3.5 lengths at this track (23.98) beating Clona Crystal in a OR on June 5. Has ability and worth including.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 400m at this track. Better last time but not convinced this is his race.

Comments

Below his best last time over 400m at this track (24.74) in an A1, finishing 7 lengths away in fifth. Boasts good form here at the journey with 16 wins and nine minor placings from 38 tries. One of the chances.
