Richmond Race 8 - Grnsw Middle Distance Series
ZIPPING SAKO (8) missed the frame two back but wound up strongly last time, finishing on late when second (35.63) in a Grade 5 at this track. Goes very well here finding the frame in each of three starts. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Makes plenty of appeal. ZIPPING EVANIA (1) has a strong overall record having 15 wins and 34 places from 69 starts including a last start third (36.16) over 622m at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. RAYMAR SHAME (5) lines up here off a comfortable win at this track after jumping from box 4 (35.44). Has a tricky draw to overcome and will need a clean break. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from three starts. Likely to be in the finish. ANCIENT EGYPTIAN (4) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Was out of the placings last time at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching three minors in a row. Aided by a low draw but looks tested this line up.

Comes off a (35.44) win last time, scoring by 2.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 622m at this track. Yet to score but has placed each of three runs from this draw. Can hit the frame with the right run.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 5 at this track when a 2.5 lengths second but did run a solid 35.63 over the 622m trip. Expected to go close with a repeat of latest.
