Richmond Straight Race 9 - Ladbrokes Top 2/3/4 Betting
SHOT OF MAGIC (3) missed the frame last time at this track but the start prior rocketed around 324m at this track in 17.18. Hot win two back and looks the one to beat here. SMOOCH (5) boasts a strong record this journey with eight wins and four minors from 18 tries. Comes off a (17.59) win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a NG over 324m at this track. Among the main chances. SEND IT SILVER (1) shapes well after a solid run last time, finishing second in a Mix 1/2/3 at this track in 17.68. In form and looks a leading player again. BRIMSON BANNER (2) was a surprise last-start placegetter worth considering.

Out of the placings last time but the run prior he was an eye-catching winner after leading throughout, scoring by 2.25 lengths in a NG at this track and clocking a scintillating 17.18 over the 324m trip. Has the ability and can find winning form again.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (22.38) over 400m at Bulli. Has a wide draw to navigate and will need the breaks to go his way.
