Richmond Race 3

Ladbrokes Odds Surge 1-3 Win

Prize Money: $2,310

KNIGHT'S CASTLE (7) drew the inside and won last time at this track and distance (18.48) after forging to the front and leading throughout, scoring by a nose. Rates on top again. EMGRAND DRIVE (2) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (23.19) at this track over 401m. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. CALLA TILLY (1) finds it hard to break through. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (19.01) at this track. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from four attempts. Expected to be in the finish again. SO IRRELEVANT (6) placed two runs ago then again in the money last time when second (18.28) at this track in a Grade 5.

Placed last time (19.01) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 6 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (23.19) over 401m at this track. Leading contender.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 320m in 18.48 last start, beating So Irrelevant. Can make it two on the bounce.
