Romford Race 8 - Gbgb Track Of The Year Stakes
INK BLACK HONEY (1) followed an A8 win two back with a sound third, beaten 6 lengths, in an A8 at Romford over 400m (24.80). Drops a level and hard to knock recent efforts. Go close. GRAIGUE BOB (3) is down a grade after missing the frame two back at Romford then finished third at his latest appearance in an A8 at Romford over 400m (24.57). Can do better this easier company. DISTANT DIANA (6) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 6th and beaten 5 lengths at Romford (24.98). Cannot be left out. ASHWOOD LINKS (4) has been in the placings at her last two runs, most recently when third (24.56) in an A9 over 400m at Romford.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a sensational early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish sixth (24.98) at Romford over 400m. Racing well and has to be included.
