Richmond Race 12

Ladbrokes Communities Masters

Stake: $2,541

IRISH BULLET (6) won again in quick time to make it back to back wins, scoring at this track over 401m (22.85). Well placed and can measure up. FLAT CHAT FRANK (2) turned spotting a big start finishing eighth (30.56) last time in a Grade 5 at Wentworth Park. Solid record here winning four races. Form from his last run is proving strong. Bold showing expected. HE'S GRAND (3) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Richmond Straight behind Calla Axel (17.97) in a Grade 4. Has the pace to be prominent. Bold showing expected. CON CABANG (7) is on a run of two wins and is sure to play a big role again.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (18.92) in a Mix 1/2/3, finishing a 6 length fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and four places from nine starts. Looks a place chance at best.
