Richmond Race 8 - Ladbrokes Blackbook 5Th Grade Heat 4 H
CATASTROPHIZE (7) was well off top last time, finishing 6th (22.79) in a Grade 4/5 at Bulli. Has won here at this journey. Form from his last run is proving strong. Tough to beat if on-song. SWAN'S SPIRIT (8) has a strong overall record having seven wins and 17 places from 35 starts including a last start third (18.62) over 320m at this track. Solid record here winning five races. Has a good overall strike-rate and can find the frame here. BONNIE PRIDE (1) has been out of the placings at her last couple but on the winners' heels when placing three back (18.57) in a Grade 5 at this track. Expected to bounce back to best. REMA'S MARBLE (2) is always a threat when he races at this track and distance.

Returns from a spell and worth noting was a winner when last resuming, scoring over 320m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal fresh.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 0.8 lengths at Muswellbrook (19.55) beating Ironic Aussie in a NG on July 19. Likely to struggle this time.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when third (22.93) over 401m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw but is worth plenty of thought.

Was out of placings last time (22.79) at Bulli in a Grade 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Has three successes and six minors from 15 starts from box 7. Key chance and should go close.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 324m at Richmond Straight. Not far away last time but this is a stiff test.
