Richmond Straight Race 5 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm Dogs Only 5th Grade Heat 2 H
SKY KING (1) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in five starts, including two wins and three placings. Hit the frame latest (17.67) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Rates a leading player. BAGGY TROUSERS (4) won by a nose last start at Temora 457m in a handy 25.90. Harder here but expected to feature again. TARAWI TANK (2) hit the ground running from a squeeze draw and prominent early but run ended and faded to finish 6th at this track in Grade 4/5 company. Form here at the trip sound including eight wins. Great chance to atone. BRING THE BEERS (7) is in winning form and worth including in the main hopes.

Well in the market on debut and immediately off the mark, scoring by a nose at Temora over 457m (25.90). Returned in great order and can make it back to back wins.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a one length third but did clock a fast 17.69 over the 324m trip. Prefer others this time.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 324m at this track. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Solid performance to win by 4 lengths at this track over 324m (17.63) beating Bad Girl River in Maiden on July 16. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 1.5 lengths at this track (18.14) beating Akii Alejandro in a Maiden on June 25. Others hold stronger claims.
