Richmond Straight Race 5 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm Dogs Mdn Final F

PURE HAPPINESS (7) got off the mark with his maiden victory last time at this track over 324m (17.62). Safe beginner but wide box to overcome and will need some luck. Can make it two on the bounce. GREENGROCER TOM (5) was well fancied on debut but could manage only a minor placing when second (17.74) at this track. This looks easier and expected to improve further. BEHIND BLUE EYES (2) ran a nice race on debut when hitting the frame, finishing second (17.90) at this track over 324m. Much improved and rates a winning chance. MICKEY MELLCAT (1) is a last-start placegetter from this box – sure to have admirers.

Yet to break through in 22 starts but has run a number of minor placings. Not showing a great deal of early speed. Hard to have without further improvement.

Impressive performance leading throughout to post a big 4 lengths victory in a Maiden last start at this track, recording a swift 17.62 over the 324m journey. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Turned in a sound debut over 324m at this track where he was well back early but wound up strongly to finish third (17.87) and beaten 2 lengths. Safe beginner who can give a big sight despite the draw.

Produced a good effort on debut to finish third on July 2 over 324m at this track behind Silent Spartan, beaten 1.5 lengths (18.08) in a Maiden. Prefer in something easier.
