Stake: $1,067

DISTANT ROVER (1) missed the frame last time at Romford but the start prior rocketed around 400m at Romford in 24.36. Should be in this for a long way. STRADEEN SPIRIT (4) recorded a 0.8 lengths win (24.33) in an A2 last time at Romford. Has already won two times from this trap. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. KILGOWAN BALAD (5) was well back throughout but attacked the line to hit the frame when a 5 length third (24.29) at Romford in A1. Must be included in calculations. BURGESS COOLIO (2) must be respected at his pet track and distance.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fourth (24.46) over 400m at Romford. Has ability and worth including.

Showed a hot pace early and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fourth Romford in 24.42. Others have better credentials.

Caught the eye last time with a sizzling early split which set up a 0.8 lengths win at Romford in 24.33. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Worth following up.

Comments

Started big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a sizzling early spilt before being grabbed late to finish third (24.29) at Romford over 400m. Going better than form suggests. Don't underestimate.
