Romford Bags Race 11

Hrh Romford Retired Greyhounds

Stake: $934

INK BLACK HONEY (1) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on her solid win a few runs back, getting around this track over 400m in 24.34. Can measure up on top win three back. NO GUARANTEE (4) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a third then scored by 2.25 lengths in an A9 last time at this track over 400m (24.65). May well be worth following up despite tackling tougher grade. EXPRESS TAG (5) was a strong course and distance winner last time, claiming an A9 in a powerful 24.76 and a new PB here. Smart winner latest and looks a key chance on that form. SWABYS ROMAN (6) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Comments

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th in an A8 on November 15 over 400m at this track behind Newinn Tinkerbel beaten 2.25 lengths (24.52). The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Could only manage fourth when resuming last start over 400m at this track in an A8 (25.32). Will strip fitter but might struggle in this field.

Caught the eye last time with a sizzling early split which set up a 2.25 lengths win at this track in 24.65. Form reads well for this.

Charged out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional recording 24.76 in a half a length win at this track last time. Has hit winning form and can go on with it.

Got back early in the race last start when fifth over 400m at this track. Before that won by 1.3 lengths at this track (24.44) beating Saltees Suzi in an A10 on January 6. Major threat on best form.
