Richmond Race 8 - The Lids Fly Hosted Pots 1-3 Win Ht 4 H

NOIR (8) three runs back posted a quick 17.59 win over 324m at Richmond Straight then has found the minor money in two runs since. Looks the one to beat on best figures. LITTLE ESMERALDA (6) recorded her 3rd career win last time out (18.28) at this track and drawn box 6 for the first time here. Can make it back-to-back wins. SPRING SIGNAL (7) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing second behind Prince Legacy (22.94) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Can feature again. ULTIMATE SIN (3) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording six placings in a row, before finishing seventh (22.93) at Bulli last start. Has a low draw but needs to bounce back.
