Richmond Race 6

Poolwerx Richmond-Kurrajong

Prize Money: $2,655

STEPHEN WITHERAP (1) has a strong record this trip with 19 wins and 13 placings from 43 starts. Placed last time (18.04) at this track in a Free For All, finishing second and beaten one length. Looks a leading chance on best. ZIPPING ZEPPELIN (8) was game in defeat when finished in the minors last start over the 320m at this track, running a good 18.08 in a Free For All. Has the ability and looks a key chance. MAYBE NEXT WEEK (2) was out of placings last time (18.18) at this track in a Free For All, finishing fourth and beaten 3 lengths. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. SUMMER DREAM (4) must be respected as a past winner at this course and distance.

Won two starts back over 320m at this track. Last start he finished 2nd on July 3 over 320m at this track behind Summer Dream beaten one length (18.04) in a Free For All. Draw likely to suit. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on his best form.

Was out of placings last time (22.95) at Gosford in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths. Goes very well off the draw boasting three wins and two places from seven starts. Others appear better placed.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 365m at Nowra in a handy (20.71), beating Firefly Gal. Will find this a bit tougher, tempted to look elsewhere.
