Richmond Race 3 - Ladbrokes Top 2/3/4 Betting
CAN'T WAIT (2) proved too good on debut over 320m at this track to score by 3.5 lengths (18.17). Drawn to be prominent early. Should be in this for a long way. MIDNIGHT SMOKE (6) recorded five placings in a row before an overdue win last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths (18.33) at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Can make it two on the bounce. ADAMANT ANDY (4) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten third (18.60) in a Grade 5 at this track last time out. Well placed here and can atone this time. CORLESS THE KING (1) cannot be written off despite a miss here at his latest outing.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished seventh on June 24 over 320m at this track behind Spring Cruiser, beaten 9 lengths (19.04) in a Grade 5. Solid claims this line-up.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when third (18.65) over 320m at this track. Drawn close to the inside. Will need plenty of luck.

Finished in the minors last time when third (17.84) at Richmond Straight, making it two placings on end. Awkward draw to overcome. Worth including.

Was out of placings last time (25.34) at Goulburn in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Has ability and should be around the money.
