Richmond Straight Race 5 - Sires On Ice @ Richmond Dogs Only Heat 3 H

BACKYARD FRIENDS (2) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (22.57) last time out at Maitland. Hard to go past form here, unbeaten in two starts. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Good form should continue. ZIPPING PALMER (3) finished in the placings on debut (22.57) at Ballarat then better for the experience broke through last time to score a neck maiden win (17.67) at this track. Must be included in calculations. HEAR ME ROAR (4) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Despicable Margo (17.81) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Will give a great sight again. TARAWI TANK (1) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to make amends.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 400m at Maitland clocking 22.57. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time despite being beaten. Follow up.

Strong performance to win by a neck at this track over 324m (17.67) beating Coin Keeping in Maiden on August 13. Back in great order and makes plenty of appeal again.
