Richmond Race 8 - Ladbrokes Richmond Derby Heat 1 H
HE'S A PEARL (7) recorded a 8 length win (29.22) in a Grade 5 last time at Wentworth Park. Has already won two times from this draw. Looks a key chance on best form. JUNGLE JOHNNY (6) produced a speedy 26.10 despite finishing fourth over 472m at Bulli last start. In form and must include in calculations. CUMBRIA BENNY (2) was below best at his last start when 6th at Bulli following a win (29.45) at Wentworth Park two back. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and a minor placing from four starts. Can figure in the finish. ASCEND FERN (1) is sure to play a big role again after nice run of wins.

Could manage only fourth last time but caught the eye the start prior when he was a dominant winner scoring by 6 lengths in a NG at Bulli and clocking a lightning 25.86 over the 472m trip. Rates on top and can find winning form again.

Got back last start and could only manage eighth but before that won by 0.8 lengths at this track (29.51) beating Ascend Fern in a Grade 5 on February 4. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on his best form.
