Richmond Race 9

Richmond Cannonball Heat 2 H

Stake: $2,840

BOTH BOWERS ACE (3) boasts a strong record this journey with four wins and four minors from 12 tries. Recorded a 0.8 lengths win (30.02) in a NG last time at Wentworth Park. Looks a key chance on best form. UNLEASH SHIRLEY (2) is on a hot streak of form, the latest charging out of the boxes early and scoring at this track (22.82), making it three straight wins. Hard to fault the current string of winning form and can continue her winning ways. MY FRIEND BEC (1) was in traffic and fell last time but prior to that was an effortless Grade 5 winner (18.07) at this track, scoring by 7 lengths. May be worth another try. MAURA FIGGIS (6) has definite claims at her first try at this circuit.

Won at this track over 320m two starts back but then was a little disappointing last start, fading at the end of 320m at this track. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

On a hot streak of form, the latest charging out of the boxes early and scoring at this track (22.82), making it three straight wins. In hot form and can take this out.

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 401m at this track in a handy (22.81), beating Nathaniel. Will find this a bit tougher, needs to find a bit more to test these.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Maitland over 400m in 22.36. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 388m at Gosford at NG level. Strong form emerging from the last run. Looks one of the chances.

Did a good job two starts back at Maitland to win by 1.75 lengths in 23.09, beating Despicable Dash. Last start finished 4th over 320m at this track beaten 4 lengths (18.63) behind Her Reason in a Grade 4/5 on July 18. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Comments

Hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior was an impressive winner after leading throughout, scoring by a neck in a NG at this track and clocking a fast 18.18 over the 320m trip. Will need to find best form.
