Romford Bags Race 11

Greyhounds Make Great Pets Maidens

Stake: $1,402

FASTNET BEST (5) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (24.98) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Likely to improve sharply this time. ITSUR HERO (1) used the inside draw to advantage last time and hit the ground running with a sensational early split, paving the way for a 4.5 lengths win at this track over 400m in 23.84. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. One of main contenders. JACKTAVERN DON (6) beaten last start over the 400m at this track but finished in the minors in a handy 24.24. Expected to feature again. DROOPYS PLAYGIRL (2) has ability and looks a top-three prospect.

Charged out of the boxes last time with a scorching early split and led all the way for a 4.5 lengths win (23.84) at this track. Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 23.84. Top chance.

Latest effort finished 4th over 400m at this track beaten 9 lengths (24.98) behind Gallant King in a OR3 on August 8. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Although beaten impressed on debut when charged early with a sizzling sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when third at this track, clocking 24.24. This tougher but promising and worth including.
