Romford Bags Race 8 - Romford Friday Night 500 Standard - Heat 2
BLACKBURNYBULLET (3) was well supported last start but didn't deliver when fourth (24.18), beaten 2.5 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Can bounce back. YAHOO POPPY (6) followed a OR win two back with a sound second, beaten 2.5 lengths, in a OR at this track over 400m (24.08). Should enjoy this far easier assignment. FUNKY RYAN (1) followed a minor placing two runs ago with a plain effort last time to finish fifth, beaten 5 lengths, in a OR at this track over 225m (14.00). Watch for a better run this far easier company. LETS GO STACEY (4) boasts a solid strike-rate over this trip.

Racing consistently without winning, finishing in the minors four on end. Last start flew out of the boxes and sizzled early but gathered in and finished second (24.08) at this track. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.
