Richmond Straight Race 1 - Ladbrokes Big Bets Copy Now Bitches Only Maiden He
HARD YARDS (1) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at this track over 324m behind Keaon Banner (18.65) in a Maiden. Was in the money the start prior. Has ability and looks hard to stop. FEROCIOUS WAVE (7) still a maiden after 15 runs but rarely out of the placings. Was fifth (23.20) at Maitland latest and although yet to win tends to go well here. Expected to feature in the finish. POPPY ROYALE (2) comes off an average effort last start when eighth at Dubbo over 318m behind Hold Firm (19.62) in a Maiden. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Has ability and can atone. NO EYE CONTACT (8) is right in the mix.

Last start finished fifth in a Maiden on February 1 over 520m at Richmond behind Midnight Hoyeon, beaten 12 lengths (30.88). Will find this a little easier. Major threat on best form.
