Richmond Straight Race 7 - Ladbrokes Hosted Pots Dogs Only Heat 4 H

JUST A MONARCH (7) lines up chasing another win after sizzling around this track over 324m in 17.44 on December 26. Hard to top on the time from last start. DANCE WITH STARS (1) scored two back when on speed but last start drifted back and could manage only a 5.5 lengths 5th at this track (17.83). Cannot be left out. STRAIGHT OUT (2) has a strong overall record having eight wins and 20 places from 39 starts including a last start third (17.74) over 324m at this track. Has a strong record from this draw. Rates a winning chance on best. SWINTON (8) is a last-start placegetter worth considering.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (18.06) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.5 lengths fifth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.
