Richmond Straight Race 9 - Poolwerx Richmond-Kurrajong
PONY TAIL (3) has a terrific record this track and trip with six wins and four placings from 10 starts. In the money last time at this track (17.72) in a NG, finishing a 1.3 lengths third. Expected to be in the finish. SHOT OF MAGIC (6) is coming off a 2 length fourth but in a useful 17.67 at this track over 324m. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. BRIMSON BANNER (2) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (18.47) at Richmond. Solid record here at the distance winning four races. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Expected to be in the finish again. SPENCER BANNER (7) placed here at this trip last start - cannot be ignored.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Gardens (23.30) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length fourth. Box stats strong with three wins and two placings from six starts. Will need the right run.

Good performance to win by 2 lengths at Bulli over 340m (19.24) beating Creeping Tiger in Grade 5 on August 4. Hard to envisage a win.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th on August 6 over 324m at this track behind Pure Hell beaten 2 lengths (17.67) in a NG. Placed two back at this track. Boasts a course and distance PB in a dazzling 17.18. Top chance.
