Richmond Race 7

Poolwerx Richmond-Kurrajong

Prize Money: $2,335

FUGENZO (2) goes very well this trip starting nine times for three wins and three minors. In the money last time at Gosford (22.41) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.5 lengths third. Looks suited here and rates on top. HOUDINI ESCAPE (3) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 3.5 lengths at this track in a handy 18.46 beating Adamant Andy. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Bold showing expected again. MY ROADSTER BOY (4) is rarely out of the finish, recording 12 places from 20 starts. Finished second (18.33) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Expecting another good run. TAP OUT BOSTON (1) is among the chances again if he runs up to the latest effort.

Nearing another win after his success on July 14 at Gosford over 388m. Last start was third over 388m in 22.41, behind Dean's Magic. Has never missed the frame from three starts out of this box. Major player.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 401m at this track in a handy (22.91), beating Armatree Stripe. Will find this a bit tougher, hard to recommend this time.

Comments

Impressive performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by one length in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking a slick 18.25 over the 320m trip. In form and worth thought again.
