Richmond Straight Race 2

Ladbrokes Odds Surge Masters

Prize Money: $2,410

CRUISE OR LOSE (2) was in the money last time out when third and beaten 5 lengths at Richmond over 320m (18.86). Has failed to finish in the placings from four starts here. Key chance in this line up. MIGHTY KONG (4) was an effortless winner two back scoring by 0.8 lengths but could manage only midfield last time when finished 4th and beaten 6 lengths at this track (18.52). Expected to feature in the finish. BOW TIPPY (6) hit the ground running from out wide and on speed early but faded and swamped late when 6th at Wentworth Park in Mix 1/2/3 company. Expected to give a good account. FABIO BLUE (1) can find the frame without surprising.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (18.52) in a Mix 2/3, finishing a 6 length fourth. Has two successes and two minors from six starts from box 4. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
