Richmond Race 8 - Ladbrokes Big Bets Copy Now
TIGHT BOND (1) is better than last start when fifth (23.14) in a Grade 5 at this track over 401m. Ready to return to form. BRONNY'S BLUE (7) was safely held on debut (19.50) at this track but improved nicely to get off the mark last time winning by 4 lengths (18.48) at this track. Leading player again. DASHING DARLENE (2) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (23.43) at this track. Bold showing expected. FEDERAL FONZ (8) should be thereabouts.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 2.25 lengths fifth (23.14) over 401m at this track. Leading contender.

Finished second last time (23.43) over 401m at this track. Drawn close to the inside. Cannot be ruled out.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 320m at this track. Hard to envisage a win.

Last start finished seventh in a Grade 5 on August 9 over 401m at this track behind Paris Party, beaten 10 lengths (23.79). Likely to struggle this time.

Solid performance to win by 0.8 lengths at this track over 320m (18.73) beating Rebel Energy in Maiden on August 9. Happy to risk this time.

Good effort to score just five days ago over 320m at this track by 4 lengths in a Maiden. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Could only manage seventh last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (22.98) over 400m at Bulli. Tough draw to overcome but is among the better hopes.
