Richmond Straight Race 11 - Mark Hughes Foundation
DESPICABLE PEDRO (6) goes very well this course and distance starting 23 times for eight wins and six minors. Placed last time (22.76) at Maitland in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 7 lengths. Looks a leading chance on best. JUST A MONARCH (2) found some support last start but struggled into fourth (17.83), beaten 4 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and eight minor placings to his credit. Key runner on best form. RUINATION (1) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (17.87) at this track behind Anjo Statue in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Expected to be in this for a long way. HEAR ME ROAR (7) is worth some thought after placing at this track and distance last start.

Improved sharply when second behind Anjo Statue at this track last start over 324m (17.87). Has to be respected.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 340m at Bulli. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when she finished 5th over 520m at Wentworth Park beaten 5 lengths (30.42) behind Tarawi Banjo in a Grade 5 on August 1. Happy to risk this time.
