Richmond Straight Race 8 - T & C Plumbing Services

HOUDINI ESCAPE (8) recorded a Grade 4/5 win two back then missed the frame last time at Richmond, but drawn Box 8 this time where he has won before. Look for sharp improvement here. TERRY KEEPING (5) ran well two back when hitting the frame then out of the placings at Mt Gambier latest but returns to a distance where he has performed well. Can hit the frame this time. FLASH JET (2) looks overdue for a win having finished in the minors at his last three runs, the latest when third (22.35) at Bulli. Tends to go well on this box draw. Has a good overall strike-rate and can find the frame here. BOSTON BANNER (7) placed last time and cannot be ignored.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a scorching early sectional but finishing in the minors again at Bulli, clocking 22.35. Close to the speed and boxed on well at his latest run. In the mix again.
