Romford Bags Race 4

Romford Friday Night 500 Maiden - Heat 1

Stake: $1,415

PADDERS INMOTION (5) missed the frame last time when fifth (24.44) at this track but prior to that had two placings in a row. Worth another chance. SLIPALONG ACE (6) is down a grade after missing the frame two back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in a OR at this track over 400m (24.17). Suited here and hard to beat if anywhere near his best. GRANTSTOWN HERO (1) could manage only a 2.75 lengths fourth last start over 400m at this track but in a useful 24.35. Has the ability and looks a key chance. NEWINN FINN (2) is a chance after ten weeks.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2.75 lengths fourth (24.35) over 400m at this track. Looks a solid contender.

Disappointed last start over 500m at Hove when beaten 17 len (31.69) behind Punk Rock Ivy on March 21. Other runners look much more appealing.

Showed a hot pace early and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fifth this track in 24.44. Had been in strong form, hitting the frame two times on end, before the latest effort. Can atone.

Finished second last start over 400m at this track behind Mucky Boreen in a OR. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.
