Richmond Race 4

Mark Hughes Foundation Max 150 Points

Prize Money: $2,310

BINALONG TIME (1) has raced below best last couple, the latest managing only 5th (30.34) last time in a Grade 4 at this track. Has won here at this journey. Rates on top in this line up. RUSTY CORTEZ (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (30.72) in a Grade 5 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Leading chance. DIRE (8) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished second (22.67) at Gosford latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Solid winning record at this trip. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from an outside draw. Expected to feature again. DRIFTIN' ETHICS (7) placed last time out so worth considering.

Backs up after winning by 2 lengths at this track (23.55) beating Double Dealings in a Grade 5 on June 20 five days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.
