Romford Bags Race 2

Sand Between My Toes Stakes

Stake: $1,266

EXVE STRIKE (1) had won two in a row before finishing fifth (24.86) last time at this track. Solid record at the distance winning five races. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Looks the one to beat on his best form. BETTING BUDDIES (6) is worth forgiving for his last effort when fourth (24.61) at this track over 400m. In the mix. ALANS AMIGO (2) will appreciate the drop in grade after following a moderate fourth two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fifth, beaten 9 lengths, in a OR at Towcester over 500m (30.21). Worth another chance this far easier line-up. ALL ABOUT GLORY (3) is very honest and looms as a strong winning hope again.

Comments

Below his best last time over 400m at this track (24.86) in an A1, finishing 6 lengths away in fifth. Boasts good form here at the journey with five wins and three minor placings from 15 tries. Key player and should go well.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 1.3 lengths at Great Yarmouth (16.51) beating Quagos Peggy in a D2 on July 21. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Moderate effort last start when she finished 4th on July 19 over 462m at Great Yarmouth behind Strathrannoch beaten 12 lengths (28.41) in a OR. Not up to this.

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (24.61) at this track over 400m. Top-three hope with the right run.
