Richmond Race 8

Flying Ricciardo At Stud

Prize Money: $3,110

BARELY LIGHT (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (26.76) last time in a Grade 4/5 at Bulli. Has ability and can bounce back. BETTY EMGRAND (2) was out of placings last time (30.82) at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 12 lengths. Has two wins already from this draw. Makes strong appeal on best. RUGGED ETHICS (8) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Zipping Shayna (30.06) in a Mix. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Won at his only start from this draw. Bold showing expected. VITO'S POOLISH (7) is a last start winner who rates one of the chances again.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing fourth (23.16) at this track last start. Boxed awkwardly and will need to find best.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in her races. The latest effort was a 8 length fifth over 320m at this track. Not keen, needs to lift.

Ran a better race when second behind Zipping Shayna at this track last start over 520m (30.06). Good beginner who shouldn't be far away in the run.
