Richmond Race 9 - Nelson Pine Industries Nelson Cup Handicap Pace
SIDESHOW BRUCE (1) Nice effort when winning by 2.4m last run at Westport and good career start. Unbeaten last 2 attempts and gets the perfect draw. Commands respect. BUILT FOR GLORY (6) Got the cash when winning by 1.3m last start at Gore and going over extra ground. In good condition this preparation. Should be very competitive and is a genuine threat. VESSEM (4) Threw down a serious challenge last time at Motukarara. Capable of a strong comeback and has the ideal draw. Can surprise and by no means out of it. RAKERO ROCKET (8) Came in 7th last start at Ascot Park. Very competitive this preparation. Watch market moves closely.
