Romford Race 8 - Thomas Ansell 18th Birthday Stakes
OLD FORT MONACO (4) found some support last start but struggled into fourth (25.03), beaten 3 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Key runner on her best form. MIAMI HERO (6) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (25.35) in an A12 at Romford. Solid record at the distance winning four races. In the mix. TOEMS JESS (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (25.03) last time in an A12 at Romford. Bold showing expected. JEOPARDY HUNTER (3) followed a moderate sixth at Romford two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish sixth, beaten 7 lengths, in an A11 at Romford over 400m (25.39). This easier and can improve sharply.

Hit the ground running with a sizzling early sectional but gathered in late to finish a 2.75 lengths fourth (25.03) at Romford. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Showed a hot pace early and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fourth Romford in 25.03. More than capable and well placed to find her best form.

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 fifth (25.04) at Romford over 400m. Happy to risk this time.
