Romford Bags Race 1 - Romford Tuesday 18th August 2026 Pgr Meeting

ROMANTIC ROMEO (6) is racing well without winning, recording four minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a scorching early sectional but finishing in the minors again over 400m at this track, clocking 24.58. One of the leading chances. LINKS VIPER (3) was below best at his last start when 6th at this track following a win (24.27) there two back. Form here at the trip sound including five wins. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. POTENTIA FOREVER (2) is in top form with back to back wins. Claimed an A4 two back then scored by 1.75 lengths in an A3 last time at this track over 400m (24.23). Goes up a notch but can measure up with a repeat of latest. JIMS BUDDY (1) hit the frame with a narrow second two runs back then claimed an A3 by a neck at this track over 400m (24.45) last time. Faces stiffer opposition but hard to leave out.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by 2.5 lengths in 24.27. Last start finished last in an A2 on August 10 over 400m at this track behind Snoopys Gold beaten 10 lengths (25.08). Well worth another chance.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but could manage only third (24.40) over 400m at this track. Not among the main chances this time.
