Richmond Race 7 - John Varley & Frank Kennedy Final F
HIT THE POST (1) has a strong record this journey here with two wins and a minor from five starts. Recorded a 2.75 lengths win (22.69) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. ZIPPING MARQUEZ (4) has a strong record here with six wins and three placings from 13 starts. Missed the frame latest (30.08) when fifth over 520m at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5. Among the main chances. IT'S NOON (8) sailed across from an outside draw last start to score an all-the-way win (18.03) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 320m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Leading chance again. LUMIERE (2) will give backers a sight.

Sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional and went on to clock 22.69 in a 2.75 lengths win at this track over 401m. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.
