Romford Race 4

Ashwells Greyhound Retirement Home

Stake: $789

TOPPER SHEA (3) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a narrow third then scored by half a length in an A8 last time at Romford over 400m (24.50). Goes up a notch but can measure up with a repeat of latest. PLAINS DRIFTER (6) is rarely far away but tends to find one better, placing 14 from 29 starts. Has hit the frame at his last three runs, the latest finishing third (24.57) at Romford. Expected to feature again. ROSSETTI ELLA (2) has some solid form under her belt and proved too classy last time to win by 1.75 lengths at Romford in a handy 24.67 beating Young Bert. Sure to be thereabouts. PROPER REBEL (1) filled a minor placing last start at Romford behind Bubbly Flame (36.16) in a S3. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Key chance in this line up.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 575m in a S3 at Romford. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow her up.

Solid effort after taking an early lead to score in an A8 by 1.75 len at Romford over 400m (24.67). Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

Followed a minor placing at Romford two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 1.5 lengths, last start in an A6 at Romford over 400m (24.57). The one to beat.
