Richmond Race 2

Poolwerx Richmond/Kurrajong

Prize Money: $2,515

SHANTI BAY (1) was out of the placings when fourth last time but prior to that clocked a convincing 22.04 win over 388m at Gosford. Looks the one to beat on win two back. RARE EARTH (6) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and two minors from six tries. Scored by 3 lengths last time (18.51) in a Grade 5 over 320m at this track. Suited here and expected to run well. HEAR NO GRIEF (2) is a well performed dog who recorded her 8th career win last time out at this track (18.38). Has a good record here at this journey. Ran the fastest time on the program in her latest win. In top form and looks a key chance again. LET'S GO JILL (7) scored with plenty to spare last time. Hard to beat again.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Gosford over 388m. Last start finished 4th over 388m at Gosford beaten 4 lengths (22.46) behind Bundy Blue in a NG on October 6. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Recorded the fastest time on the card after running them ragged to make it two on end at this track over 320m (18.38). Looks suited and should go close again.

Won at The Gardens over 400m two starts back but then was a little disappointing last start, fading at the end of 400m at The Gardens. Prefer in something easier.

Good effort to win last start by 2 lengths over 320m at this track in a handy (18.24), beating Opawa Chloe. Some good form emerging from that last run. Among the chances.
