Richmond Race 6

Poolwerx Richmond / Kurrajong

Prize Money: $2,335

ALWAYS BRAVE (2) missed the frame last time at Dubbo but just three runs back flew around 320m at this track in 18.18. Hot win three back and looks the one to beat here. CHEEKY CHEESE (8) showed blistering pace early and gave a sight when in the minors, beaten 5.5 lengths over 365m Nowra in 21.05. Winning chance. TRUE REQUEST (1) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth (18.76) in a Grade 5 at this track. One of the main contenders. PANDORA LASS (4) must be included on latest effort.

Latest effort finished 6th in a Grade 5 on August 19 over 320m at this track behind All The Cash beaten 4.5 lengths (18.76). Last couple have been below par. Deserves another chance.

Missed the frame last start when fifth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Better than last run and looks set to run well.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 320m at this track. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Latest effort finished 4th over 320m at this track beaten 3.5 lengths (18.52) behind Anjo Prince in a Grade 5 on August 21. The form from the last run stacks up nicely. Worth following up.

Didn't make the placings last time at Dubbo (19.16) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths fourth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and five places from eight starts. Others appear better placed.

Comments

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (21.05) at Nowra over 365m. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
