Richmond Race 11

Poolwerx Richmond-Kurrajong

Prize Money: $2,335

AKII ROYALE (8) got off the mark with his maiden victory last time at this track over 320m (18.59). Sure to prove hard to beat. SPRING CRUISER (6) produced a modest effort most recently when seventh at this track over 320m behind Lizzy Bonkers (19.17) in a Grade 5. Better than last start and can bounce back. WELL READ (1) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 401m behind Shaq Keeping (23.06) in a Grade 5. Got the money at his only try from this box. Great chance to atone. SIDE SHOW BOB (7) is in form and must include among the chances.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished fifth on July 5 over 401m at this track behind Shaq Keeping, beaten 9 lengths (23.06) in a Grade 5. Major threat on best form.

Hit the frame latest (23.03) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Others appear better placed.

Strong performance to win by a neck at this track over 401m (23.22) beating Charlotte's Rosie in Maiden on July 15. Would be better placed in something easier.

Has finished seventh at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 11 lengths behind Side Show Bob over 401m. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 401m in 23.14 last start, beating Ritza Kevie. Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.
