Richmond Race 5

Ladbrokes Blackbook

Prize Money: $3,235

ZIPPING HORNET (4) is worth forgiving for his last effort when fifth (29.99) at this track over 520m. Strike rate this course strong having won three of four tries. Comes through a solid form race last start. Looks the one to beat on his best form. MAJOR IMPACT (1) goes very well here starting seven times for three wins and three minors. Hit the frame latest (29.69) when second at Gosford in a Grade 5. Looks a key chance on best figures. ANT BITE (7) turned in a moderate run last time when seventh at this track over 520m behind Charlotte's Rosie (30.43) in a Grade 5. Has the ability to give this a shake. MIA'S MIRAGE (2) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish here at this distance.

Hit the frame latest (29.69) when second at Gosford in a Grade 5. Yet to score but has placed each of three runs from this draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 3.5 lengths second over 520m this track in 30.04. Looks a solid hope.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.15) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 7 length fourth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Will need some luck to feature.
