Friday's Tips

*** Headford Sarah - 8.53 Romford

** Westway Mario - 9.13 Romford

* Brindle Bully - 7.13 Romford


The return to Romford should be in the favour of Headford Sarah after she was a decent runner-up to Wise Tournament at Monmore last time out. She had been on a very successful run around here prior to that, including making it to the final of the Coral Guys & Dolls. A record of five wins from her last seven starts over 400m can be added to this evening. 


There has been a huge amount of promise shown so far in the short career of Westway Mario. He has only made two starts in the UK after three in Ireland, landing a Yarmouth A2 on his debut for Craig Morris before bolting up in the heats of this competition last week. You can't always rely on a pup to do the same again but he would be very hard to beat if he does repeat last week's run.


Brindle Bully is an interesting one to gain his revenge for last week's defeat at the paws of Piemans Goalie. The wide runner could be set for a cleaner run around the opening turns which would probably be enough to close up the length and three-quarters he was beaten. Add to that his old rival has a rails mover outside him in trap four means that there is no margin for error in the early strides for David Mullins's runner.
