Richmond Straight Race 12

Gapnsw.com.au Masters

Prize Money: $2,310

VON RYKER (4) is a sprinter who thrives over these shorter races. Kept coming to finish seventh over 324m at this track (17.99) latest in a NG. Form at the trip strong including two wins. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Has ability and is a key runner. ZIPPING STRIKER (2) struggled to get involved last start after drifting back at Richmond, but prior to that won by one length at this track (17.88) beating Mrs. Chop in a Mix 2/3 on October 10. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. ESPECIALLY RARE (8) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing seventh (18.97) in a Mix 1/2/3 at Richmond. Solid record at the distance winning four races. Must be included in calculations. MIGHTY KONG (6) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Won two starts back at Richmond over 401m when well in the market then went for a spell of two weeks. Returned last start finished last on November 7 over 324m at this track behind Bernardo Beast beaten 11 lengths (17.99) in a NG. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Latest effort finished 7th in a Mix 2/3 on October 10 over 324m at this track behind Zipping Striker beaten 7 lengths (18.42). Below his best last time but looks well placed here. Worth another chance.
