Prize Money: $2,310

JUST A MONARCH (8) was a last start winner (17.40) from Box 8 at Richmond Straight. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Can continue the winning form. TALENT TIME (1) goes very well at the course and distance with two wins and a placing from four starts. Comes off a (18.47) win last time, scoring by 2.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 320m at this track. Looks well placed here and among the chances. ANJO TOPAZ (5) was in traffic and took a tumble last time but prior to that was a Grade 5 winner in quick time (18.22) at this track in a Grade 5. Looks suited here and worth another try. WICKED RAVEN (2) missed the frame latest (18.60) when fourth over 320m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Has three wins already from this draw.

Strong performance to win by 2.5 lengths at this track over 320m (18.47) beating Distortion in Grade 5 on December 19. Looks the one to beat again.

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recent effort finished 4th on December 10 over 320m at this track behind It's Noon beaten 1.5 lengths (18.60) in a Grade 4/5. Coming out of a very strong form race. Can feature with the right run.

Good effort to win last start by 2.75 lengths over 401m at this track in a handy (23.15), beating Zig Zag Zoey. Will find this a bit tougher, happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Won again in quick time after running them ragged to make it two on end at Richmond Straight over 324m (17.40). Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
