Romford Bags Race 7

Ashwells Greyhound Retirement Home

Stake: $902

YOUNG BERT (5) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (24.52) in an A8 at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Likely to be in the finish again. CLUTCHINATSTRAWS (3) is progressing well with another good run, placing by 4.5 lengths (24.85) in an A8 at this track. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to her name from six starts. Top prospect. FAGANS DAMSEL (2) was out of the money two runs back then improved sharply last time to score at this track over 400m (24.68). Faces stiffer opposition but hard to leave out. SWABYS ROMAN (6) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (25.12) at this track over 400m. Solid showing expected.

Good effort to score last start by 2 lengths over 400m at this track in 24.68, beating Burrow Cupid. Comes through a good form race. Looks a definite chance.

Racing consistently, including a win three back at this track, before placings at last two runs, the latest when third (24.85) over 400m at this track. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 400m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. This will test.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A8 at this track over 400m (24.52). Consistent performer who is clearly the one to beat.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a scorching early split, weakening late to finish a 4.5 lengths fifth (25.10) over 400m at this track. Can't recommend against this lot.
