Richmond Race 12

Poolwerx Richmond / Kurrajong

Stake: $3,186

MAYBE NEXT WEEK (4) Moderate showing when 5th last time here. Has the potential to improve sharply and hard to fault at the distance. Going well this preparation. Can go through the gears. Honest enough customer who is strongly placed. UNLEASH SHIRLEY (2) Faded to finish 6th last time at Gosford. Expected to rebound but back in trip. Displays good early speed. No shock to see a win. MY FRIEND BEC (1) Disappointing effort when 6th last run around here but have to respect the form at this distance. Will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Has the ability to take this out. GRID GIRL (5) Came in 3rd last time at this track. Displaying good ability since returning from a spell. Use betting as best guide.

Jumped at $15.00 and fairly underwhelming when 6th last run here but strong performer at this trip. Will appreciate a good box. Can figure in the finish.

Jumped at $2.20 and lost ground in the run home when 6th last time at Gosford. Expected to rebound but coming back in distance. Should go well.

Started $1.75 and subpar when 5th last time at the track. Has the potential to improve sharply and have to respect the form at this distance. Stamps its reason for consideration.

Jumped at $19.00 and struggled with the pace when 8th last start at Wentworth Park but will be well suited at the trip. Will be trying to topple them late. Betting is the best guide.
