Richmond Straight Race 5

The Lids Fly Hosted Pots

Prize Money: $2,335

ZIPPER CONTROL (1) goes very well this trip starting six times for three wins and two minors. Missed the frame latest (22.58) when fifth over 400m at Bulli in a Grade 5. Appeals as a leading chance in this. TORNADO CHEVY (4) recorded a 1.3 lengths win (17.58) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Suited here and expected to run well. LAKOTA COURTNEY (5) owns a decent record at this track and distance so can make an impact. GOOD ODDS KEONA (2) improved to finish runner-up when second-up last time and may progress further.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 2.25 lengths second at this track but did record a slick 17.62 over the 324m trip. Among the each way chances if runs up to latest.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 1.3 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording a dominant 17.58 over the 324m journey. Has the ability and looks hard to top.

Missed the frame latest (17.80) when sixth over 324m at this track in a NG. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Can do better.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a nose over 324m at this track in a handy 17.79, beating Jungle Gym. Strong form emerging from the last run. Looks one of the chances.
