Richmond Straight Race 5 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm
SKY KING (7) boasts a strong record this journey with two wins and two minors from five tries. In the money last time at this track (17.73) in a Grade 5, finishing a 1.5 lengths third. Expected to be in the finish. ANJO STATUE (5) was a strong course and distance winner last time, claiming a Grade 5 in a solid 17.63 and a new PB here. Should be in this for a long way. CHEVY THE BEAST (2) had been in super honest form hitting the frame three times on end before finishing fourth (23.00) at Maitland last time. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Has ability and can atone. DESPICABLE KAVA (1) is one to consider despite coming off a brief layoff.

Missed the frame latest (20.19) when fifth over 340m at Bulli in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Among the main chances.

Fast starter. Latest effort finished 4th on July 13 over 400m at Maitland behind Zipper Stride beaten 12 lengths (23.00) in a Grade 5. Recorded three placings in a row prior to the latest effort. Worth another chance.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 515m at The Gardens. Not doing enough to be considered.

Won over this track and trip. Latest effort finished 3rd over 324m at this track beaten 1.5 lengths (17.73) behind Anjo Statue in a Grade 5 on July 9. Good beginner who will take catching with any luck from on outside draw.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 13 length seventh over 401m at Richmond. Likely to struggle this time.
