Romford Bags Race 3 - Farewell Maxine Locke Stakes

GOTTHECHAT (6) flew the lids with a sensational early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (24.96) over 400m at this track. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and seven minor placings to her credit. Better than last start and worth following up. RURAL BLUEY (2) is racing well, claiming an A5 win two back before finishing runner-up at her latest appearance in an A5 at this track over 400m (24.22). Should enjoy this easier assignment. Expected to feature. YOUNG POPPY (4) jumped from this trap last time and also the same course and distance to score an A7 win (24.64). Key chance on best form. BACON HOTPOT (3) proved herself from this box last start – cannot be left out.
