Richmond Race 4

Ladbrokes 5Th Grade Heat 2 H

Stake: $2,541

JUST A MONARCH (2) is a progressive type who recorded his 9th career win last time out (17.59) at Richmond Straight. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. In form and can go on with it. SWING AND DING (1) missed the frame last time when fifth (23.08) at this track but prior to that had six placings in a row. Can do much better this time. HER REASON (6) got around the 401m at this track to take a Grade 4/5 in a fast 22.75 for a 1.5 lengths victory. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. BETTY EMGRAND (7) cannot be left out after placing last start.

Was out of placings last time (23.08) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from six starts. Looks a key chance on best form.

Strong performance to score by 2.5 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Richmond Straight, clocking a slick 17.59 over the 324m trip. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Eye-catching performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by 1.5 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at this track, recording a sharp 22.75 over the 401m journey. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.
