Richmond Straight Race 4 - Ontrack Insder

BAD BLUE JAY (2) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at this track over 324m behind Noir (18.04) in a Grade 5. Scored at his previous run. Key runner on his best form. MODELING (8) was resuming when finishing sixth at this track in a Grade 5 (18.22). Will be much improved. Has ability and is one of the better chances. SORENTO TO EXCEL (3) is worth forgiving last start after finishing seventh (20.56) in a Grade 5 at Bulli over 340m. The form from his last run stacks up well. Should be thereabouts. HARD YARDS (1) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Finished seventh (18.34) last start at this track. Prior to that had recorded three minor placings in a row. Tricky draw to overcome and needs to bounce back.
