Richmond Race 10

Ladbrokes Blackbook 1-3 Win

Prize Money: $3,135

CASH KEEPING (6) had his second look this course and distance latest and improved on his time claiming a Grade 5 win in 29.65. Has the ability and expected to go close again. RAPID RITA (1) struggled in tougher grade last start after settling well back at The Meadows, but prior to that won by a neck at Warragul (26.18) beating Head Of Staff in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win on January 15. The form out of last run is most impressive. Can do much better this time. ZIPPING HARTLEY (4) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by 4.5 lengths (22.45) at this track. Deserved serious consideration again. ITCHY'S MAGIC (2) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Returns from a three-and-a-half months break and only other fresh up run was on debut when placed over 595m at Sandown. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

At the last start finished 6th on April 29 over 520m at this track behind Spring Victoria beaten 10 lengths (30.58) in a Grade 5. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wentworth Park (30.58) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length seventh. Has one win and two placings from five starts from the draw. Can feature with the right run.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 6 length sixth over 400m at Bulli. Prefer in something easier.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior was just edged out when second (23.23) over 401m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate but can measure up.

Good effort to win last start by 6 lengths over 472m at Bulli in a handy (26.29), beating Fantasia Shine. Will find this a bit tougher, can't recommend in this field.
