Best Bets: Friday 16 August

MISS BLACKBELL (Trap 2) in the 18:27 at Romford

MISS BLACKBELL has really found her form of late, comprehensively making it 3 wins from her last 4 starts in C&D A1's/Open events in recent weeks. Her consistency at the boxes has proved the catalyst for those victories and we're hopeful with the bit between her teeth this evening, further success beckons.

RACKITUP BRUCE (Trap 1) in the 19.33 at Romford

RACKITUP BRUCE well and truly confirmed previous promise when making a clear-cut breakthrough in open class recently, making a swift exit from the boxes, he soon had matters in hand for a 3 ¼ length success. A railer, Phil Simmond's charge should have the red jacket holding no fears and a similar display can see the September 17 whelp home in front.

DANTES INFERNO (Trap 6) in the 21:26 at Romford

DANTES INFERNO has long since shaped like more of a stamina test would suit and, overall Romford's shortened 6-bend trip of 575 metres may well be an ideal starting point. Arriving on the back of a strong-finishing second over Yarmouth's 462 metre trip, his effort that day was well and truly backed up by the clock and he is fancied to make his mark.
