Richmond Race 5 - The Lids Fly Hosted Pots
HOVERING (8) goes very well this trip starting 12 times for five wins and three minors. Was out of placings last time (23.06) at Bulli in a Grade 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths. Looks suited and should go close. JAMAL WICK (4) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Loco Miss (23.15) in a Grade 4/5. Stalked the pace but found the line strongly. Solid beginner who can clear the tricky draw. Expecting another good run. HENDRIX (7) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by 0.8 lengths at this track in a handy 22.91 beating Domineering. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Will go close again if runs up to latest. CREEPING TIGER (2) is worth a look over a shorter distance this time.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Gosford over 515m in 29.68. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 520m at Wentworth Park at Grade 5 level. Can't recommend against this lot.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished fourth over 515m at Gosford, beaten 13 lengths (30.38) behind Real Bonnie in a Grade 5 on July 7. Will find this a little easier. Top-three hope with the right run.

Hit the frame latest (23.15) when third at this track in a Grade 4/5. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 3 lengths in 18.10, beating Dire. Last start finished last over 320m at this track beaten 10 lengths (19.15) behind Bugatti Rico in a Grade 5 on June 26. Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 0.8 lengths win at this track over 401m in 22.91. Has ability and among the chances.

Hasn't been that impressive recently but he does have a good record at the track and trip, including three wins. Expected to bounce right back. Hard to beat.
