Flaming hot !!

Express Flame scored on her come back run last night at Monmore by taking the Ladbrokes 480 for bitches. Flame lead up early with Jaytee Cuba trying to match strides but Flame quickened well round the first the bends to build a lead which could not be pulled back. Flame took the race in 28.21 by 2 1/2 lengths. 

It was a welcome relief to get the pictured Smart Bid back to winning ways. Bid hung on well when under severe pressure in the closing stages to take the Division 1 416 open race by one length in 24.68.
