Richmond Race 4

Ladbrokes Richmond Oaks Heat 2 H

Prize Money: $3,455

SOOTY KEEPING (2) has a strong record this trip with 29 wins and 13 placings from 55 starts. In the money last time at Q Parklands (30.04) in a OPEN, finishing a 5 length third. Rates a leading player. ZIPPING ARIEL (1) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at The Gardens over 600m behind El Rey (35.20) in a NG. Cannot be left out. SHE'S FEARLESS (4) can keep on winning after an exceptional last start success, getting around the 520m at Wentworth Park in 29.64. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. TENACIOUS TALKER (6) is another with top-three prospects.

Missed the frame latest (35.20) when fifth over 600m at The Gardens in a NG. Has two successes and five minors from 11 starts from box 1. Makes strong appeal.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (30.04) over 520m at Q Parklands. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Missed the frame latest (30.78) when eighth over 520m at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5. Strong record off the draw with three wins and two minors from six starts. Will need some luck to feature.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by 0.8 lengths at Wentworth Park over 520m (29.64) beating Late In Winter in Grade 5 on February 7. Looks to have an edge on most of these.

Won her last two including a strong win last start over 520m at Wentworth Park by 4 lengths in a Grade 4/5. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this box. Must be respected.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 3.5 lengths second at this track but did record a brilliant 29.47 over the 520m journey. Among the each way chances if runs up to latest.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by 1.75 lengths at The Gardens over 515m (29.42) beating Irinka Lindsay in Grade 4/5 on February 14. Key chance again.
