Richmond Race 6

Ladbrokes Richmond Oaks Final F

Prize Money: $54,000

ERIZA SPARKLES (6) is a talented type who notched her 12th career success when too good (29.23) at this track last time. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. TENACIOUS TALKER (2) was in the money last time at this track (29.59) in a NG, finishing a half a length second. Yet to taste defeat in four runs from this draw. Makes strong appeal on best. CUMBRIA CHRISSY (1) finished 0.8 lengths away in second last start over 520m at this track but in a good 29.58. In form and looks a leading player again. SECRET BANDIT (7) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot most recently.

Won two starts back over 520m at Nowra. Last start she finished 2nd in a NG on February 20 over 520m at this track behind Screaming Violet beaten 0.8 lengths (29.58). Draw likely to suit. Has a solid record from this box, including three wins. Expected to go well.

Charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a half a length second (29.59) at this track. Goes very well from this box including four wins. Leading player.

In the money last time at this track (29.70) in a NG, finishing a neck second. Goes very well off the draw boasting three wins and three places from seven starts. Will need the right run.

Form has been strong with wins two and three starts back. Last time out finished 2nd on February 20 over 520m at this track behind Eriza Sparkles beaten 4 lengths (29.51) in a NG. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.
