Richmond Race 1 - Happy 30Th Brad 0-2 Win Ht 1 H
RONALDO VELLA (1) is better than last start when fourth (26.86) from Box 1 at Bulli over 472m. Has ability and is a key runner. BANDIT BAY (4) posted a speedy 24.84 when placed over 440m at Goulburn last start in a Grade 5. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. TOUCH OF VENOM (2) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at Gosford over 515m behind Gudrid (30.53) in a Mix. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. ZIPPING DOWNEY (7) must be included in calculations.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 3rd in a Maiden on January 28 over 401m at this track behind Rupee's Galore beaten 1.75 lengths (23.44). More than capable and ready to find best form.

Hit the frame at Goulburn last time when a 4.5 lengths second but did record a slick 24.84 over the 440m trip. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 320m at this track. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Missed the frame latest (30.04) when fourth over 515m at Gosford in a Grade 5. Starts from box 6 for the first time here. Looks a place chance at best.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Nowra over 520m. Last start finished 5th in a Grade 5 on February 13 over 440m at Goulburn behind Cawbourne Ozzy beaten 9 lengths (25.04). Racing well and has to be included.
