Richmond Race 8

Poolwerx Richmond-Kurrajong

Prize Money: $2,515

EXEMPLARY (1) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (23.19) at this track. Solid record at the distance winning four races. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and a minor placing from seven starts. Overdue and gets his chance. GRAVEL DUST (6) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on her strong win the start prior, getting around this track over 320m in 18.21. Top win two back and can measure up again. SPRING DAZZLER (5) finished fifth last time but just a few runs back pushed the clock when winning over 401m at this track, taking a Grade 5 in a quick 22.80. Smart winner three back and looks a key chance on that form. DOMINEERING (7) form at this distance reads well.

Comments

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (23.19) at this track over 401m. Overdue and expected to feature again.

Was out of placings last time (30.51) at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Looks a place chance at best.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Goulburn over 350m in 19.86. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 401m at this track at NG level. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Missed the frame last start when a 8 length fifth (23.08) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Shapes well here on best and gets chance to atone.

Last start finished 3rd on September 11 over 401m at this track behind Big Town Tilly beaten 6 lengths (23.52) in a Grade 4/5. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 5.5 lengths in 17.98, beating Lucy Valentine. Last start finished 6th on September 13 over 320m at this track behind Hey Bubba Louie beaten 11 lengths (18.79) in a Grade 4/5. Capable of taking this out.
