Richmond Race 9 - Ladbrokes Blackbook
FEDERAL BLUE BOY (1) boasts a strong record this journey with seven wins and eight minors from 20 tries. Was out of placings last time (23.11) at this track in a NG, finishing fourth and beaten 3 lengths. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. BY THE BOOK (2) used the inside draw to advantage last time and hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 4 length win at this track over 401m in 22.89. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Should be in this for a long way. ZIPPING ALI (4) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 5.5 lengths in 22.73, beating Kiwi Kawa. Last start finished last on July 25 over 520m at this track behind Unleash Jodi beaten 14 lengths (30.92) in a Grade 5. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Finished third last start (23.08) at big odds over 401m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Looking to others.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 401m at this track in a handy (22.86), beating Emgrand Drive. Should be around the mark.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 3 length third (22.90) over 401m at this track. Holds top-three claims.
