Richmond Race 5 - Ladbrokes Mates Mode
BIG BERNIE (1) was out of the placings last time when sixth at Wentworth Park (30.75) but did record second best time of the card when winning four back. Solid record here at this trip including six wins. The form from his last run stacks up well. Has ability and is a key runner. GUS AND GLORY (5) was in the minor money with a good 18.24, finishing second in a Grade 5 at this track last start. Harder here but expected to feature again. JET BOOTS TOMMY (8) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 4.5 lengths (18.42) at this track. The form out of his last race has been franked. Better than last start and can bounce back. LAYLA'S LILLY (7) is looking to continue her winning ways off a solid 18.22 success latest. One of the chances.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 1.75 lengths in 18.38, beating Wicked Raven. Last start finished last on January 4 over 320m at this track behind Confectionery beaten 15 lengths (19.54) in a Grade 5. Looks tested in this company.
