Richmond Race 9 - Poolwerx Richmond-Kurrajong
TAP OUT JOHNNY (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (18.14) last time in a Grade 5 at Richmond Straight. Has winning claims on his best figures. BIG RED TEQUILA (3) was a strong course and distance winner last time, claiming a Maiden in a powerful 18.69 and a new PB here. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. PALPITATIONS (2) has not raced since scoring (20.86) over 365m at Nowra five months ago. Will go close here with a clear run. RUN FOR DAD (6) has strong claims after a top-three finish from this box last time out.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 6th on March 19 over 324m at Richmond Straight behind Jungle Gym beaten 4.5 lengths (18.14) in a Grade 5. Should be right in the finish.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 5.5 lengths fourth over 324m at Richmond Straight. This looks too tough.
