Romford Race 5 - Verns 90Th Celebration Dash
ROMANTIC ROMEO (6) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by one length at Romford in a handy 24.07 beating My Lil Bella. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Expected to be right there at the finish again. PATRICIAS GIFT (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (24.40) last time in a OR3 at Romford. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and seven minor placings to his credit. Bold showing expected. OUR BOB (5) looks overdue after a minor placing two back then finishing third at his latest appearance in an A1 at Romford over 400m (24.48). This easier and can improve further. BUBBLY MONZA (4) is a last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.

Form slipped last start when she finished 5th over 400m at Romford beaten 7 lengths (24.70) behind Lil Bo Beep in a OR3 on April 24. Others hold stronger claims.

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (24.40) at Romford over 400m. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 400m at Romford. The recent effort suggests he is a genuine hope.

Followed a minor placing at Romford two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 5.5 lengths, last start in an A1 at Romford over 400m (24.48). Sure to play a big role.
