Romford Bags Race 4

Romford Friday Night 500 Standard - Heat 2

Stake: $1,409

GROVE PATRICK (2) is a talented type who notched his 8th career success when too good (23.88) at this track last time. Form here at the trip excellent including four wins. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Has put together a string of wins and expected to go close again. BACON ROLL (4) three runs back clocked an outstanding 23.95 win over 400m at this track then has found the minor money in two runs since. Must include on winning run three back. BOMBAY BUCK (6) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive before that in his superb 23.92 win at this track over 400m. Smart winner two back and looks a key chance on that form. BOMBAY ZERO (1) can play a role coming off a short let-up.

Showed scorching pace early but found one better when beaten 3.5 lengths over 400m this track in 24.31. Coming out of a very strong form race. Can feature with the right run.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 400m at this track. Better last time but not convinced this is his race.

Racing consistently, including a win three back at this track, before placings at last two runs, the latest when third (23.88) over 400m at this track. Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 23.37. Top chance.

Good effort to score last start by 3.5 lengths over 277m at Central Park in 16.39, beating Danceswithwolves. Likely to struggle this time.

Big odds but gave a huge sight after burning early, finishing a 1.75 lengths second (23.84) over 400m at this track. Solid showing expected.
