Romford Bags Race 5 - David Grant 80 Birthday Trophy
YOU KIDDING ME (6) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 35.71 beating Garrys Lil Star. In sparkling form and expected to measure up again. RAPIDO CONTI (3) has a strong winning strike-rate this journey here having won two of four starts. Below best last time at this track (35.72) in a OR3, finishing a 6 length fourth. Makes strong appeal on best. TASTY TURKISH (4) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fourth (24.37), beaten 5 lengths. In the mix. HONEY DAZZLER (1) has top-three aspirations after placing last time.

In the money at Great Yarmouth at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 462m. Won't find this much tougher. Definite contender.

Not seen at best last start when she finished 5th on May 8 over 575m at this track behind Ballymac Suntan beaten 14 lengths (36.38) in a OR3. Hard to have this time.

Was strongly fancied and burnt early, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (24.37) at this track. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.

In sparkling form lately having won three races on the trot. Last start won by half a length at this track (35.71) beating Garrys Lil Star in a S3 on May 9. Flying lately and can score again.
