Richmond Straight Race 8 - Nsw Straight Of Origin Heat 3 H
HOTSHOT LILY (6) has a strong overall record having 13 wins and four places from 23 starts but was out of the money last time when eighth (23.35) over 400m at Maitland. Solid record at the distance winning four races. Looks the testing material here. BLACK KERMARO (3) is better than last start when fifth (19.92) in a Grade 5 at Capalaba over 366m. Strike rate this course strong having won four of five tries. His last run is a proven strong form reference. Shapes as one to consider. LEVI DESIGN (2) shapes well after a good run last time, finishing second in a Grade 4 at this track in 17.52. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. RAGING ZEAL (1) boasts a solid strike-rate over this track and distance.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 1.3 lengths in 17.39, beating Elite Chevy. Last start finished last on January 22 over 324m at this track behind Tino Banner beaten 9 lengths (18.16) in a NG. Should show more than the latest offering. Has claims.

Has hit the frame at his last three runs, the latest finishing second in 17.52 at this track. Drawn close to the inside. Cannot be ruled out.

Showing promise but missed the frame last start when fifth at Capalaba. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Better than last run and looks set to run well.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by 1.75 lengths at Wentworth Park (29.82) beating Swift Wind in a Grade 5 on May 14. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Didn't make the placings last time at Maitland (23.35) in a NG, finishing a 18 length eighth. Strong record off the draw with two wins and two minors from five starts. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Won his last couple, most recently at Wentworth Park on May 23 over 520m in 29.71. Not suited by the wide draw; Can't recommend him in this.

Was out of placings last time (17.95) at this track in a Grade 3/4, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Goes very well off the draw boasting four wins and three places from eight starts. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.
