Richmond Straight Race 10

Ladbrokes Richmond Straight Cup Ht 5 H

Prize Money: $2,630

MIGHT HAVE BEEN (1) was a winner two back then strongly fancied last time but could only manage a second (34.53) at Gosford. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Top prospect. CALLA AXEL (8) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 4.5 lengths (17.57) at this track. Solid beginner and with a good start should have clear running out wide. Deserved serious consideration again. VILIAME (7) filled the minor money two on end before breaking through for a deserved win last time, scoring at this track over 324m (17.62). Has good speed and will be prominent from out wide. Should feature again. ALL POWERED UP (6) is worth a look over a shorter journey this time.

Has hit the frame the last couple. Finished third at Capalaba latest but prior to that recorded a brilliant 19.63 over 366m when narrowly beaten, at Capalaba. Has ability but looks tested here.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.68) in a NG, finishing a 6 length fourth. Has never missed the placings from five starts off this box. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (17.54) over 324m at this track. Drawn out wide and will need everything to go his way.
