Friday's Tips 

*** Bikini Bullet - 8.13 Romford

** Scooby Diamond - 7.33 Romford

* Hello My Friend - 7.43 Sunderland


It was a brutally efficient performance from Bikini Bullet in the opening round of the Coral Coronation Cup, going through as the quickest qualifier. She flew around Towcester on Derby night before that and in this sort of form, it is going to be very hard to stop her if she comes away in the same fashion again. 


Quickest of the Dolls qualifiers in the Guys & Dolls was Scooby Diamond, backing up a smart win on Trainers’ Judgement Night when she picked up Lesleys Buddy in a hugely impressive win. The 2025 Puppy Cup winner over this track and trip is in that sort of form again and she is going to be difficult to contain again.


At Sunderland, Hello My Friend is the most interesting on the card. Trap two is probably plenty close enough to the rails for him, for all that he has won from the red jacket when trained in Ireland. The best of his form there was at Cork, producing some smart times and a maiden over here should be a formality for him before going onto better things.
