Richmond Race 9 - Greyhound Products Direct
MIDNIGHT SMOKE (1) boasts a strong record this journey here with three wins and four minors from seven tries. Below best last time at this track (23.58) in a Grade 5, finishing a 11 length fifth. Looks a key chance on best form. HEAR NO GRIEF (2) box seated early before forging to the lead turning and lifting to score (18.35) at this track in a Grade 5 over 320m. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Expected to measure up again. FUGENZO (4) was in the minors two back (22.41) at Gosford but ran below best last time at this track, finishing 6th. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Worth following up. TAKE A BREAK (7) is new to this distance but not to be underestimated.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 320m in 18.35 last start, beating Reborn Jester. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this box. Sure to go well.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 320m at this track. Others preferred on this occasion.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 6th in a Grade 5 on September 9 over 401m at this track behind Spring Cruiser beaten 7 lengths (23.16). Placed two back at Gosford. Solid showing expected.

Backs up after winning by 1.5 lengths at this track (18.23) beating Shout For Joy in a Grade 5 on September 13 five days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.

Returns from a 11 weeks break and only other fresh up run was on debut when placed over 520m at Wentworth Park. Capable of taking this out.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 320m in 18.34. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 320m at this track at Grade 5 level. Not suited by wide draw, not far away last time but this is a stiff test.
