Richmond Race 12

Ladbrokes Blackbook Masters

Prize Money: $2,335

MARK TO MARKET (1) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 3rd at this track over 320m. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings five times from seven starts. Must come into calculations. SASSY CROSSED (7) had a tricky draw last time and although midfield in fourth wasn't far away finishing 3 lengths from the winner (18.80). Should be in this for a long way. SILVERTREE SCAR (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (19.34) last time in a Grade 4 at this track. Form here at the trip sound including five wins. Boasts a strong record from this draw with two wins and three minor placings from five starts. Has the ability to give this a shake. JUST BRAXTON (2) placed here at this trip last start - cannot be ignored.

Was out of placings last time (18.80) at this track in a Mix 3/4, finishing fourth and beaten 3 lengths. Has two wins and three placings from 10 starts from the draw. Looks well placed and should feature.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.34) in a Grade 4, finishing a 15 length seventh. Strong record off the draw with two wins and three minors from five starts. Makes appeal on best.
