Richmond Race 9 - Steeline Riverstone
HOT MESS EXPRESS (8) has a strong record this trip with four wins and five placings from 12 starts. Hit the frame latest (19.34) when second at Bulli in a Grade 5. Looks well placed and should feature. SPECIAL TICK (3) has a strong record this track and trip with two wins and two placings from five starts. Hit the frame latest (20.87) when second at Nowra in a Grade 5. Looks suited here and can measure up. THREE HUNDRED (1) missed the frame last time but had been racing well prior to that, winning a Grade 5 three back before a placing at this track the following run. Can turn it around this time. BRONNY'S BLUE (5) placed last time and cannot be ignored.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 365m at Nowra clocking 20.87. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 320m at this track. Likely to struggle this time.

Won two starts back at Dubbo over 318m in 18.48. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 318m at Dubbo at Grade 5 level. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a nose second over 340m Bulli in 19.34. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.
