Richmond Race 7 - Dalwhinnie @ Stud
MELANIA BANNER (8) took the sit on the lead from a low draw but levelled up and led around the bend to score (19.07) at Bulli in a Grade 5 over 340m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Can measure up again. FORT KNOX (4) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Anjo Ruby (18.39) in a Grade 5. Chased the leaders and with a clean run can be prominent. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to be in this for a long way. URBAN BOY (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (20.39) in a Grade 5 at Gunnedah. Won at his only start from this box. Key runner on best form. SPRING ROTA (6) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to atone.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished fourth on April 19 over 320m at this track behind Zipping Admiral, beaten 12 lengths (18.91) in a Grade 5. Solid showing expected.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional, going on to clock 19.07 in a 1.3 lengths win at Bulli over 340m. Has a slick 22.81 PB at this course and distance. Hard to beat.
