Romford Bags Race 4 - Romford Friday Night 500 Standard - Heat 2

BOMBAY BUCK (5) has been a little hard to follow, missing the frame last time but was a OR3 winner three starts ago and has drawn 5 where he has 10 wins. Key player on best and worth another chance. JACKTAVERN DON (6) could not have been more impressive last start in his a dynamic 24.19 win at this track over 400m. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. HEADFORD WAYNE (4) is down a grade after missing the frame two back at Central Park then finished third at his latest appearance in a OR at this track over 400m (24.23). Worth another chance this far easier line-up. ZENITH JIMBOMBOM (2) will appreciate the drop in grade after following a moderate fifth two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fourth, beaten 3 lengths, in a OR at this track over 400m (24.43). This far easier so not to be underestimated.

Not seen at best last start when he finished 4th in a OR on August 22 over 462m at Great Yarmouth behind Aayamza Legend beaten 11 lengths (28.69). Hard to have this time.

Hit the ground running with a sizzling early sectional but gathered in late to finish a 3 length fourth (24.43) at this track. Has clocked a scorching 23.43 here at this trip. Can give a great sight.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a scorching early split, weakening late to finish a 5.5 lengths fourth (24.51) over 400m at this track. Happy enough to avoid.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished last in a OR on August 21 over 400m at this track behind Piemans Goalie beaten 18 lengths (25.53). Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 23.58. Top chance.

Solid performance after taking an early lead to score in a OR by 1.75 len at this track over 400m (24.19). Had been in fine form, hitting the frame five times on end, before a deserved win last time. Can measure up again.
