Romford Bags Race 4

Romford Friday Night 500 Maiden Stayers - Heat 1

Stake: $1,420

DOWER DUCHESS (3) finished a one length second last start over 575m at this track in a fast 35.49. Expected to feature again. SHES JOKING (1) looks long overdue for a win having finished in the minors at her last three runs, the latest when third (35.82) in a OR at this track. Will find this far easier and looks tough to beat on best. MAEVASMAGICLECHO (5) is another with top-three prospects. EMPIRICISM (2) will be hard to beat despite making her debut at this trip.
