Romford Bags Race 3 - The Home Straight Showdown
JACQUESINTHEBOX (3) was strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a sensational early split, giving a sight but could manage only third (24.69) at this track over 400m. Has never been out of the placings from two starts out of this box. Expected to feature in the finish again. MOVE THE MAGIC (2) produced a moderate performance last time when fifth at this track over 400m behind Zenith Zaza (25.17) in an A4. Was a winner prior to that. Key runner on best form. MICKS BOY (6) hit the frame with a third two runs back then claimed an A5 by 2 lengths at this track over 400m (24.64) last time. Rises a grade but expected to measure up. STOUKE HENRY (1) looks a chance coming off a three-and-a-half months layoff.

Finished off last campaign with a fourth in an A3 over 400m at this track three-and-a-half months ago. Yet to win fresh but has been in the money two times. Definite threat.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by a nose in 24.41. Last start finished last over 400m at this track beaten 13 lengths (25.17) behind Zenith Zaza in an A4 on July 15. Well placed here and can atone.

Both runs to date have been useful, the most recent at odds-on when third over 400m at this track. Has never missed the frame from two starts from this trap. Key chance.

Moderate effort last start when he finished 4th on July 15 over 400m at this track behind Zenith Zaza beaten 10 lengths (24.91) in an A4. Happy to risk this time.

Good effort to score last start by 2 lengths over 400m at this track in 24.64, beating Droopys Nanette. Strongly fancied last time and lived right up to expectations. Stick with him.
