Richmond Race 8 - Mark Hughes Foundation

MAXIMUS MERIDIUS (1) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 1.5 lengths at this track in a handy 22.73 beating Opawa Gabby. Reliable out of the boxes and should take advantage of the inside draw. The hardest to beat again. NO SPARK LEFT (2) comes off an average effort last start when fifth at this track over 320m behind Let's Go Jill (18.77) in a Grade 4/5. Good beginner aided by a nice draw. Has ability and can measure up. VALLEY CASH (3) missed the frame last time but before three back recorded the quickest win (22.74) on the program at this track in a Grade 4/5. With a good start should be able to take advantage of the low draw. Can hit the frame this time. FOLLOW THE ACE (7) is a last-start placegetter from this box - solid claims again.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (22.73) over 401m at this track. Looks well placed and should be tough to beat.
