It's uncommon for a Tuesday, but Crayford’s schedule offers not one, but two A1 races along with an S1 event to spice things up.
In the first A1 (18:42), four of the same contenders from a recent top-grade race meet again. However, it's the fresh face in the mix that grabs attention.
18:42 CRAYFORD: ELEGANT ELMA (Trap 1)
ELEGANT ELMA (Trap 1), having returned to the track after a stint at Oxford, has been showing steady improvement as the season progresses. Her previous top-grade performances and her growing form since coming back suggest she’s close to reaching her peak once more. With a strong-running style, she looks capable of catching the front-runners in this race.
20:07 CRAYFORD: KATES HONEY (Trap 5)
KATES HONEY (Trap 5), a fast-rising young talent, is another one to watch in the featured S1 (20:07). From a litter that has made a stellar start, Ricky Holloway's promising runner has already won four of her first five races. Facing more seasoned competition, she appears to hold the upper hand, especially after a recent victory over Earls Ruby (Trap 3). With her swift early speed, she is expected to take control of the race from the outset. Despite being headed in the final stages of her last run, she showed remarkable resilience by finding a second wind and surging ahead to secure the win.
21:23 CENTRAL PARK: TINTREACH TINY (Trap 2)
Later, in another A1 contest at Central Park (21:23), TINTREACH TINY (Trap 2) seems poised to outlast her rivals. Last week, Dave Puddy's runner made an impressive comeback after losing ground when forced wide on the second bend, only to storm down the back straight and claim victory. A previous winner over six bends in an Open race, she looks ready to dish out the same kind of punishment here.
