Richmond Race 12

Ferness @ Sires On Ice Masters

Prize Money: $2,335

MIDNIGHT STAR (1) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split and ran away with a 1.5 lengths win at Bulli over 340m in 19.21. Will go close again if runs up to latest. VINTAGE MEL (2) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish second, beaten 2 lengths, (23.45) at this track. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Expecting another good run. APPIN WAY (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (23.68) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. FLYING FOR AARON (5) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Looks close to another win after her success on July 3 at this track over 320m. Last start was second over 401m in 23.45, behind Crafty Chap. Boxed on well to finish runner-up last time. Leading player.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage eighth last time out over 401m at this track. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
