Richmond Race 5

Sires On Ice @ Richmond

Prize Money: $2,515

BOSTON STRONG (1) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (23.03) at this track behind Dashing For Gold in a Grade 4/5. Took the lead and boxed on but run over. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Can go on with it. MAXIMUS MERIDIUS (4) stalked lead from an outside box last start before finishing second (22.95) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 401m. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Expected to feature. EXEMPLARY (8) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (18.63) at this track. Will give a great sight again. DURAN STING (5) placed last time in impressive time - worth considering.
