Richmond Race 10

Bistro Open For Dinner

Stake: $2,714

POCO RICO (1) is better than last start when fourth (30.09) from Box 5 at Wentworth Park over 520m. Boasts a strong record from this draw with five wins and two minor placings from 10 starts. Can bounce back. SECRETS REVEALED (7) has a strong record here with 11 wins and 14 placings from 33 starts. Placed last time (23.50) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 6 lengths. Looks suited here and can measure up. MAJOR ANDO (3) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at Wentworth Park over 520m behind Miss Zig Zag (30.16) in a Grade 4/5. Was in the money the start prior. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to his credit. Should be about the mark. DAM BACCI (2) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing.

Missed the frame latest (30.16) when fifth over 520m at Wentworth Park in a Grade 4/5. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and three places from eight starts. Looks a leading chance.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in her races. The latest effort was a 7 length sixth over 520m at this track. Prepared to just watch this time.
