Romford Bags Race 7 - Coral Romford Puppy Cup - Heat 5
WESTWAY MARIO (5) had won three starts on end leading into the last outing when strongly fancied but could only manage sixth (24.69) at this track. Key runner on his best form. PUNTOS OPINION (4) missed the frame but ran a fast fifth at Nottingham over 500m in 30.34. Harder here but expected to measure up. BONVILLE PADDY (2) stalked the lead from a low draw then burst clear to score (24.03) at this track in a OR over 400m. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. One of the key runners again. POPULIST (6) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Placed three back but has won two runs since, the latest an A4 in 23.97 over 400m at this track. Tough line-up and place prospects appear best.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fourth (24.57) over 400m at this track. Likely to struggle this time.

Last start finished 5th on August 24 over 500m at Nottingham behind Annadown Shadow beaten 12 lengths (30.34) in a OR1. Recorded two placings in a row prior to the latest effort. Worth another chance.

Notched up three wins on end in a row before finishing sixth (24.69) last time in a OR3 over 400m at this track. Well placed and a great chance to atone.
