Romford Bags Race 2 - Neil Phillips Half Century Celebration Stakes
VELVET ROLO (1) missed the frame last time when fourth (24.30) at this track in an A1 but not beaten far the start prior. Look for sharp improvement here. JENESAISQUOI (4) stretches out further in journey and is having his first try at the trip. Comes here after a last start 5th and beaten 7 lengths (17.04) at Great Yarmouth. Can feature in the finish. DROOPYS NANETTE (2) jumped from the inside and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten half a length (29.72) behind Gingers Ada at Hove. Must be included in calculations. BALLYMAC ABIA (5) took up a forward position and go the job done when making debut. Sure to run well again.

Untested at this trip. Last appeared when fifth over 277m at Great Yarmouth. With even luck and a clean start he should be prominent at the business end.

Showed plenty of pace to win on debut won comfortably by 3.5 lengths at this track (24.06) beating Move The Magic in a OR on September 25. Will find this much tougher but she should put herself in the race early.
