Central Park Bags Race 10 - Poppadom Tom 50th Race

SIMON JOHN (6) has mixed form recently, finishing sixth (29.96) in an A1 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Look for sharp improvement here. SWIFT YESTERDAY (1) hit the frame with a second two runs back then claimed an A2 by half a length at this track over 491m (29.70) last time. In winning form and worth following up despite rising a grade. IM AFRAID NOT (5) has been out of the placings last two but shapes well for this if she can recapture her sharp win a few runs back, getting around this track over 491m in 29.62. Expected to feature on best figures. ALWAYS HOFFA (2) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.
