Richmond Straight Race 7

Ladbrokes Richmond Straight Cup Ht 2 H

Prize Money: $2,630

CALYPSO ROGUE (6) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 4.5 lengths (22.15) at Maitland. Looks a top chance again. RAGING ZEAL (4) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (17.74) last time out at this track. Goes very well here at the trip finding the frame in each of nine starts. Good beginner but will need a little luck from a middle draw. Winning chance. JUST A MONARCH (2) has a strong winning strike-rate here with five wins and a placing from seven tries. Comes off a (17.71) win last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 4/5 over 324m at this track. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. SHEEZEL (8) is chasing another win after a slick 16.73 win latest. Don't underestimate.
