Richmond Race 3

Flanno For A Farmer Day Masters

Prize Money: $2,335

MAJOR SOKO (1) comes off an average run last start when sixth at this track over 320m behind Pearl Of Maui (19.11) in a Mix 1/2/3. Has ability and can bounce back. SILVERTREE POP (2) found trouble in the run at this course and distance last time and failed to finish. Bold showing expected on best. BLITZ (8) missed the frame last time when fifth (18.74) at this track in a Mix 2/3 but not beaten far the start prior. Safe beginner but wide box to overcome and will need some luck. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. APPIN WAY (6) returns here with a good chance to improve on last time.

Missed the frame latest (19.11) when sixth over 320m at this track in a Mix 1/2/3. Has two successes and seven minors from 18 starts from box 1. Looks a key chance on best form.
