Richmond Straight Race 9 - Streetsmart Pavement Repairs
FREIGHT EXPRESS (1) goes very well at the distance with five wins and a placing from seven starts. Hit the frame latest (29.90) when second at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5. Makes strong appeal on best. SHOT OF MAGIC (7) ran below his best last time finishing fourth (22.78) over 400m at Maitland in a Grade 4/5. Form here at this distance is sound. Boasts three wins from three starts out of this box. Cannot be left out. TINO BANNER (8) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 4.5 lengths (22.78) at Bulli. Form here at the trip sound including six wins. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from an outside draw. Great chance to atone. LOCHINVAR CHIRON (2) looks a chance coming off a four-and-a-half months layoff.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 1.5 lengths second over 520m Wentworth Park in 29.90. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Strong performance after tracking the speed to win by 0.8 lengths at Wentworth Park over 520m (30.12) beating Fantastic Elle in Grade 5 on February 7. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Will be thereabouts.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 324m at this track in a handy (17.72), beating Our Inspiration. Will find this a bit tougher, in form but prepared to risk this time.

Has failed to fire at the last couple but he does have good record over this track and distance. Unbeaten in three starts from this draw. Key runner.

Has finished fourth at his last couple of starts, most recently at Bulli over 400m. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Worth including.
