Richmond Straight Race 7 - Ladbrokes Blackbook Dogs Only Final F

SWINTON (1) is yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts two wins and two placings. Recorded a neck win (17.68) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Looks the one to beat with even luck. JUST A MONARCH (5) has a strong winning strike-rate here with three wins and a placing from five tries. In the money last time at this track (17.70) in a Grade 5, finishing a neck second. Makes strong appeal on best. STILL AROUND (4) jumped from out wide and was game in defeat last start when a nose second (17.80) behind ANDO PRINCE at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. MR. IRRELEVENT (7) justified the favourite's tag last time - sure to feature again.
