Richmond Straight Race 8 - Dalwhinnie @ Stud Dogs Only 5th Grade Heat 5 H
PURE HAPPINESS (1) has an excellent record over this journey having never missed the placings in three starts, including two wins. Comes off a (17.90) win last time, scoring by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5 over 324m at this track. Looks suited here and rates on top. DESPICABLE PEDRO (2) is better than last start when fourth (22.69) in a Grade 5 at Maitland over 400m. Solid record here including eight wins. One of the main contenders. KEAON BANNER (3) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at this track over 324m behind Addison Banner (18.44) in a Grade 5. Form from his last run is proving strong. Shapes as one to consider. AUTUMN BOY (7) warrants respect although new to this distance.

Good performance to win by 1.75 lengths at this track over 324m (17.90) beating Bad Boy Jay in Grade 5 on July 16. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Won two starts back won at this course over 324m. Couldn't reproduced the effort last start when he finished 2nd over 324m at this track beaten one length (17.68) behind Black Kermaro in a Grade 4/5 on July 16. Hard to recommend this time.
