Richmond Straight Race 10

Ladbrokes Punter Assist

Prize Money: $2,310

JUST A MONARCH (7) boasts strong form at this track having won two times from three starts. Missed the frame latest (23.37) when fifth over 401m at Richmond in a Grade 5. With a clean break looks hard to beat. DANCE WITH STARS (4) took the sit on the lead but levelled up to score (17.71) at this track in a Grade 5 over 324m. One of main contenders. RAIDER DONKEY (2) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fourth (17.89) at this track. Expected to feature in the finish. MR. IRRELEVENT (3) is worth some thought after placing at this track and distance last start.

Latest effort finished 4th on December 19 over 324m at this track behind Dance With Stars beaten 2.5 lengths (17.89) in a Grade 5. Was in the money two on end before missing the frame last time. Worth another try.

Won again and recorded an impressive time after running them ragged notching his three straight wins at this track over 324m (17.71). In sparkling form and looks a leading chance again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 324m at this track. Likely to find this a bit tough.
