Romford Race 4

Ashwells Greyhound Retirement Home

Stake: $1,015

EXPRESS TAG (5) is down a grade after missing the frame two back at Romford then finished third at his latest appearance in an A4 at Romford over 400m (24.56). Heading in right direction and well placed here. Hard to beat. Back in class and gets chance to fire. JACKTAVERN LUNA (4) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (24.84) last time in an A5 at Romford. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Bold showing expected. PAVILION HOGGIE (3) was below best last time but the start prior was a D1 winner in the quickest time on the card at Oxford over 253m in a D1. Can improve sharply here. DROOPYS LIST (6) followed a minor placing two runs ago with a plain effort last time to finish fourth, beaten 5 lengths, in an A4 at Romford over 400m (24.34). Capable of a lot better this easier class.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 400m at Romford, adding to some plain results of late. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Flew the lids with a hot pace early and hit the frame with a 0.8 lengths second (24.71) at Romford, making it two placings on end. Difficult assignment ahead.

Winner two starts back at Oxford when scoring by 1.75 lengths in 15.14. Last start finished 5th on April 3 over 400m at Romford behind Lesleys Buddy beaten 14 lengths (25.06) in a OR2. Worth consideration on best form.

Big odds but gave a huge sight after burning early, finishing a 1.5 lengths third (24.56) over 400m at Romford. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fourth (24.34) over 400m at Romford. Look for improvement. Not out of it.
