Richmond Race 7

Grnsw Middle Distance Series

Prize Money: $10,600

WINSOME STORM (2) could manage only fifth at Wentworth Park last time but impressed when posting a handy 29.86 over 520m at Wentworth Park three starts back. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times. WINSOME JOSIE (5) goes very well here starting 23 times for 11 wins and eight minors. Below best last time at Wentworth Park (29.82) in a NG, finishing a 6 length fourth. Can feature with the right run. NOT OUR FAULT (1) copped a check in the run last time and never threatened when fourth (30.39) in a Grade 5 at Nowra. Has the ability and can atone with the right run. BEFORE THE DAWN (7) is among the chances again if she runs up to the latest effort.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 4th over 520m at Nowra beaten 9 lengths (30.39) behind Puffin Punta in a Grade 5 on October 7. Should be right in the finish.

Was a winner three back at Wentworth Park then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when fifth (30.03) at Wentworth Park. Looks a leading contender on best and expected to bounce back.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 520m at this track. Would be better placed in something easier.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (29.97) over 520m at Wentworth Park. Boxed awkwardly but is worth plenty of thought.

Missed the frame last start when fourth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning three on end before placing two back. Well placed here and expected to bounce back.
