Richmond Race 9 - Bill Micallef & James Dwyer
GETS LATE EARLY (3) is a consistent dog overall, in the frame at 41 of 112 starts including 34 wins but missed the frame latest when sixth (29.91) over 516m at Dubbo. Form at the trip sound including three wins. Looks well placed here and should prove hard to beat again. TUMBY BAY (8) was below best last time but three back was a Grade 5 winner in the quickest time on the card at this track over 520m in a Grade 5. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. DYNAMIC ARCHER (1) looks close to another win after finishing third from Box 7 last time (23.37) at this track. Boasts a strong record from this draw with four wins and two minor placings from seven starts. Expected to feature. YOUNG RUSS (4) cannot be written off despite a miss here at his latest outing.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bulli (19.73) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 7 length sixth. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Will need some luck to feature.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 4 length sixth (29.91) over 516m at Dubbo. Has run hot time here with a 22.45 PB at the distance. Key chance.
