Romford Bags Race 5 - Romford Friday Night 500 Maiden - Heat 2

NEW ERA BABY (5) beaten last start over the 400m at this track but finished in the minors in a solid 24.29. Hot time latest and looms as the one to beat. SHORT STORY (6) has a strong record this trip with four wins and six placings from 12 starts. Scored by 4.5 lengths last time (24.02) in an A1 over 400m at this track. Looks a key chance on best figures. BLACKROSE TINA (3) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (24.41) in a OR3 at this track. In the mix. DROOPYS METAPHOR (1) followed a first-up placing two starts ago with a modest effort to finish sixth, beaten 16 lengths, in a OR1 at Towcester over 500m (30.32). Worth another chance this far easier line-up.
