Richmond Straight Race 12 - Gapnsw.com.au Masters

VENUS BANNER (6) won again in an impressive display after box seating to make it two on the bounce, scoring by 0.8 lengths (18.03) at this track over 324m. Has good early speed and can overcome the tricky draw. Well placed and will be tough to beat. MITCH AND MURRAY (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (17.95) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Safe beginner who draws ideally on the inside. One of the better chances. ZIPPING STRIKER (2) turned in a plain performance last time when seventh at this track over 324m behind MITCH AND MURRAY (18.50) in a Mix 1/2/3. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Has ability and is one of the better chances. SPEEDY PEBBLES (8) has definite claims at his first try at this circuit.
