A6 A7 A8 / Editor / 30 May 2007 / Leave a comment

Chelseys Girl (T3) and Cocoa (T5) look improving types in Romford's opening A6 contest, run over 400 metres and due underway at 20:35.

Mystic Blue (T1) has been off the track for around a month, but has been known to travel well fresh in the past. Although Maxine Locke's candidate is expected to be in the firing line, she will need to strain every sinew to be successful at the level.

Godfreys Bullet (T2) comes here in rude health, having landed three of his last four races. However, Peter Payne's contender is without a win at the grade after seven bites of the cherry, and a peppy start is a must.

Chelseys Girl (T3) looks a rapidly improving contestant. Paul Young's promising pup landed a gamble on her debut before running into bumping on her next outing. She then went on to storm out of the boxes when resuming winning ways last week, and a bold show is anticipated.

Ive Moved On (T4) produced a much improved effort when runner-up in a sizzling 24.78 over three weeks ago. However, on learning that Dave Mullins' challenger has tasted defeat in all of her last 15 races, backers are likely to run a mile.

Cocoa (T5) is still a maiden after 15 career outings to date. On a positive note, however, Alison Ingram's lightly-campaigned old-timer is unexposed at the grade, and is expected to be doing sterling work in the latter stages.

Legit Billy (T6) is well known as a sluggish starter and is expected to be playing catch-up from the outset. Alison Ingram's frustrating performer is also the slowest on the calculated clock and appears to have plenty on his plate.

Rummy to relish S2 task

Rummy Duke (T2) looks to boast strong claims of landing his fourth race from his last six outings in the grade, in the S2 contest run over 575 metres and due underway at 21:25.

Micks Ashbrown (T1) is the class act on paper, having recorded a nippy 36.26 at the level around two months ago. Jim Reynolds' candidate is set for a drop in grade following four unsuccessful spins in S1 company, and cannot be ruled out.

Rummy Duke (T2) has been a revelation in recent weeks having landed three of his last five outings at the level. Alison Ingram's challenger is capable of a strong start on his day, and could take the beating.

Killough Dreamer (T3) will try her little heart out to reach the turn on the bunny, but looks likely to fall short in that department in this class of event. With Dave Mullins' gallant war horse having been beaten in all of her last 23 races, it is virtually impossible to flag up the character with any confidence.

Shelbourne Miss (T4) looks an interesting contender. Jim Reynolds' individual, a winner over eight bends in April, has been highly tried since being dropped back in distance for her last two outings. Dropped in grade, the promising challenger should be thereabouts.

Lavenders Who (T5) confirmed his return to form when making all in A4 company more than a fortnight ago. However, Paul Young's charge has a lot to prove on the calculated clock, and is best treated with caution.

Little Rockstar (T6) is the fastest in the field on the stop watch, and comes here having landed three of his last six races at the level. Peter Payne's contestant looks dangerous with a peppy start.

Galaxy Kid to produce shock in A2

Galaxy Kid (T6), a progressive individual, is taken to make a huge impact on his debut at the level in the A2 contest run over 400 metres and due underway at 21:57.

Propero (T1) will give his all in a bid to make the corner in front, but may fall short in this company. Dave Mullins' golden oldie has tasted defeat in all of his last 15 attempts at the level, and is difficult to flag up with confidence.

Glasheen Honcho (T2) may struggle as a result of the switch away from the rails slot. Alison Ingram's old hand is slow to react to the opening of the traps, and appears to have plenty on his plate.

Blonde Freddy (T3), formerly a Coventry A5 grader, is lightly raced after just nine starts around the London Road circuit. With this being only Maxine Locke's hound's second start at the grade, improvement is a distinct possibility, and he cannot be ignored.

Ivy Knows (T4) has something to find to reverse form with both Slieverua Sparky (T5) and Blonde Freddy (T3) on their recent clash. However, Dave Mullins' challenger is capable of a fast exit on his day, and enters a tricky equation.

Slieverua Sparky (T5) appears to be the stronger of the Maxine Locke pair and is expected to be chasing the pace early doors. The tough stayer will probably put his foot on the accelerator in the back section, and is another for the short list.

Galaxy Kid (T6) is expected to start as one of the big outsiders judged on the early tissue prices, but is no forlorn hope. Paul Young's competitor has made nice progress through the grades since starting his career in lowly A8 company last September, and comes here on the back of an all-the-way success last weekend. With nothing to find on the clock, he can make his presence felt on his A2 debut.
