Romford Bags Race 2 - The Home Straight Showdown
EXPRESS TAG (5) started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a sensational early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (24.38) at this track over 400m. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. One of the leading chances. SLIPPY COLEMAN (1) scored (24.00) last time out at this track adding to an already respectable career. In great recent form and expected to measure up again. ZINEDINE ZEDOG (3) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (24.66) last time in an A2 at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Worth following up. POTENTIA FOREVER (2) missed the frame two runs back then won at his latest appearance by a neck at this track over 400m (24.18). Faces tougher but hard to fault latest and worth including.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 1.75 lengths into second over 400m at this track. May find this a bit too tough.

Has been in great form, scoring two in a row before finishing third (24.38) last time at this track over 400m. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.
