Richmond Straight Race 4 - Ontrack Insider Dogs Only Ht 2 H

BAD BOY BANJO (6) is progressing well scoring last time out (17.93) at this track and bringing up his 2nd career win. Has an impeccable record here at this journey. The form out of his last race has been franked. In great form and can continue his winning ways. BLUE OPAL (1) was resuming when finishing seventh at Gosford in a Grade 5 (31.18). Sure to be fitter. The form out of his last race has been franked. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. MIDNIGHT ARROW (7) is having his first look at this course. Missed the frame last time when 4th and beaten one length (30.41) at Richmond. Expected to give a good account. RED BALL ROCKET (2) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.
