Romford Bags Race 9

Bark And Dash Stakes

Prize Money: $584

BURGESS SHARON (1) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (25.14) at this track. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from eight attempts. Tough to beat if on-song. FIRE MAGIC (3) has an honest record despite remaining a maiden and overdue for a win, having placed three of nine career runs. Has placed at her last two starts now. Can feature again. BLACKROSE VENUS (4) produced a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 400m behind San Siro (25.52) in an A12. The form out of last race has been strong. Can measure up this time. MAPLE JACKAL (5) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fourth (25.14) over 400m at this track. Still to win from this trap but has been in the placings four times. Top chance.

Finished off last campaign with a third (25.34) over 400m at this track on March 14. Others make more appeal.

Was safely held fresh from a break when fifth (25.52) at this track over 400m. Fitter and looks a danger on best.
