Romford Race 3 - Angela's Sprint

HOPALONG CHAMP (2) flew the lids with a sensational early split last time, hitting the frame with a 2.75 lengths third (25.14) over 400m at Romford and making it two placings on end. Deserves serious consideration. HALO JOSIE (5) turned in a solid run last start over 400m at Romford finishing 4th and beaten only 2.75 lengths (25.15). Should be about the money. SPARKLING EVA (3) started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a sensational early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fifth (25.16) at Romford over 400m. Should be thereabouts. PURRING (1) cannot be ruled out.

Placed last two, the latest showing sizzling pace early but gathered in and finishing third at Romford in 25.14. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a scorching early split, weakening late to finish a 3 length fifth (25.16) over 400m at Romford. Major threat on best form.

Jumped well on debut and led them out before fading to fifth (25.86) at Romford over 400m. Likely to be much improved on the experience. Looks a solid contender.

Hit the ground running with a sizzling early sectional but gathered in late to finish a 2.75 lengths fourth (25.15) at Romford. Should prove hard to beat.
