Romford Race 8 - The Martin Family Stakes
SHOW STOPPER (3) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths (24.13) behind Kinstons Angel at Romford. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Deserves serious consideration. ZENITH ANGEL (2) has been hard to follow lately, running sixth (24.49) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Romford. Expected to do much better this time. ROUGH RINGO (4) drew trap 4 last start and was game in defeat when a close third, 2 lengths from Kinstons Angel (24.23) at Romford. Expected to be in the finish again. RAPIDO JANE (6) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by a head last start at Romford over 400m (24.23). Faces stiffer opposition but hard to leave out.

Form slipped last start when he finished last on May 2 over 400m at Romford behind Headford Eimear beaten 7 lengths (24.84) in an A4. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Showed a hot pace early and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing sixth Romford in 24.49. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 0.8 lengths into second over 400m at Romford. Racing well enough to fully test this field.

Racing consistently without winning, finishing in the minors three on end. Last start flew out of the boxes and sizzled early but gathered in and finished third (24.23) at Romford. Better than the last couple of runs suggest.

Solid effort after tracking the speed to score in an A6 by head at Romford over 400m (24.23). Can make it back to back wins.
