Richmond Straight Race 9

Bernie Burrow @ Stud

Prize Money: $2,655

MELANIA BANNER (3) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 0.8 lengths (22.48) at Bulli. The one to beat again. AUDREY'S MAGIC (8) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 17.87 beating Despicable Milo. Should feature again. DESPICABLE RAMBO (7) stuck on well last time to finish one length back in second (17.80) at this track in a NG over 324m. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to his credit. Can measure up. RUINATION (1) did a good job to finish second last time out over 324m at this track (17.76) in a Grade 3, the second top-three finish on the trot.

Was out of the placings at final run of last campaign, finishing fourth (17.31) at Addington before going for a three months spell. Has won both starts when resuming. Looks one of the hopes in the race.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 324m at this track. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Hit the frame latest (17.80) when second at this track in a NG. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
