Richmond Race 12

Gapnsw.com.au Masters

Prize Money: $2,310

PROBATION (3) gapped his rivals two back in one of the fastest times on the card then could manage only a 25 length 7th at Richmond Straight (19.57) latest. Should be very hard to beat this time. HE'S GRAND (1) stalked the lead from a low draw and fought on well to finish 6 lengths back in third (30.96) at Wentworth Park in a Mix 3/4 over 520m. Bold showing expected. MORE CRACKERS (7) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Missed the frame latest (23.49) when fourth over 401m at this track in a Mix 3/4. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed five times. Others rate better this time.

Comments

Ordinary effort last start when he got back too far over 324m at Richmond Straight. Prior to that won by 1.75 lengths at Gosford (22.31) beating Magic Wylde in a Grade 4/5 on October 22. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.
