Romford Bags Race 9 - Romford Friday Night 500 Stayers Final
UNDERGROUND MATT (4) scored (35.40) last time out at this track adding to an already respectable career. Form here is sound including eight wins. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. The hardest to beat again. CHARLIE LOVES ME (3) stalked the lead from a low draw and fought on well to finish 1.5 lengths back in second (35.52) at this track in a OR3 over 575m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Leading player again. RAPIDO LOUISE (5) box seated before sticking on well to finish 6 lengths away in second (35.96) at this track in a OR3 over 575m. Will give a great sight again. FRONT POLO (6) won from box 6 last start – sure to figure prominently.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 575m at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.5 lengths into second over 575m at this track. The recent effort suggests he is ready to win.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 6 length second (35.96) over 575m at this track last time. Top-three hope with the right run.
