Richmond Race 1

Ladbrokes Blackbook Maiden

Stake: $1,933

HE'S SAVVY (7) is a handily bred pup making his debut without a trial. Can kick off with a winning run. HELPING HANDS (3) shows ability but remains a maiden after 52 starts. Is better than last start when out of the placings, finishing eighth (19.47) at this track. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Worth following up. RED SHOESTRING (1) improved his time on first attempt here at the trip with a 11 length second in 18.99 latest. Top run latest and rates a key player again. FOLLOW THE ACE (4) has been freshened and can sneak into the frame on his best form.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 2nd over 320m at this track beaten 11 lengths (18.99) behind Royale in a Maiden on April 27. Key chance on best form.

Comments

Missed the frame when eighth (19.47) at this track at last run and returns here after a three-and-a-half months break. Yet to win when resuming but has notched three places. Has ability and worth including.

Comments

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in his races, Last start finished seventh over 401m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Can't recommend him in this.

Comments

Turned in a fair debut run over 324m at Richmond Straight where she settled off the pace and battled on to finish fourth (18.66) and beaten 6 lengths. Likely to be much improved. Has ability and among the chances.

Form so far only moderate, the latest effort a seventh over 401m at this track. Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.
