Richmond Race 4

T & C Plumbing Services Masters

Prize Money: $2,335

CRAFTY CHAP (1) was in the money two back in a Mix 2/3 at Gosford then jumped from a squeeze draw last time and was not far away when second (23.04) over 401m at this track. Better than last run and makes appeal this time. MR. SNOW (7) turned spotting a big start finishing seventh (23.79) last time in a Mix 2/3 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. VINTAGE MEL (4) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Mix 3/4 winner three back (18.50) at this track over 320m. Can feature with the right run. FLYING FOR AARON (5) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Missed the frame latest (19.00) when fifth over 320m at this track in a Mix 3/4. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and seven places from 14 starts. Others appear better placed.
