Richmond Straight Race 8 - Poolwerx Richmond-Kurrajong
TORNADO ETHICS (1) is an accomplished sprinter with a great record at the short dashes. Kept coming to fill the minor placings over 400m at Maitland (22.33) in a Grade 4/5. Has a strong winning record here at the trip including three wins. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Deserves serious consideration. FREIGHT EXPRESS (4) is a quick beginner who took advantage of the inside draw, flying the boxes and leading throughout to score (17.58) at this track in NG over 324m. Has a strong record here including six wins. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Expected to feature again. TINO BANNER (8) resumed in a NG at this track and ran into the frame when second over 324m (17.65). Solid record here at the distance winning six races. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. Will give a great sight again. MUSTANG ETHICS (2) can fill a top-three spot.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 324m in 17.60. Followed that up with a minor placing over 324m at this track at NG two weeks ago. More than capable and has to be included.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 324m in 17.58 last start, beating Tino Banner. Has run blistering time here with a 17.4 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 350m at Grafton in a handy (19.75), beating Federal Senor. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to overlook.
