Romford Bags Race 2 - Richard Retirement
PADDERS INMOTION (5) was out of in the placings when fourth last time but three runs back posted a lightning 23.86 win over 400m at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. DROOPYS METAPHOR (2) was strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a sensational early split, paving the way for a 3.5 lengths win at this track over 400m in 23.97. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Can measure up again. SWIFT UNITED (3) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Central Park over 491m behind Hollyoak Pharaoh (30.92) in an A1. Was a winner prior to that. Should be about the money. LE PUR SANG (6) has merit but will need to be at his best to take this out.

Got back early in the race last start when fifth over 400m at this track. Before that won by 1.5 lengths at this track (24.26) beating Newinn Finn in a OR on June 21. Major threat on best form.

Good effort after tracking the speed to score in a D2 by 1.0 len at Towcester over 270m (15.97). Hard to envisage a win.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th on July 4 over 400m at this track behind Carters Buddy beaten 5.5 lengths (24.54) in a OR. Has run hot time here with a 23.86 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Missed the frame when fifth at over 500m Towcester at his last run nine weeks ago. Tough field and looking to others this time.
