Richmond Straight Race 11 - Ladbrokes Punter Assist Masters

VENUS BANNER (8) is progressing well scoring last time out (22.68) at Richmond and bringing up her 21st career win. Has a good record here at this journey. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Ideally placed to take this out. MIGHTY KONG (4) hit the frame two on end before being rewarded with a deserved win last time, scoring at this track over 324m (17.78). Safe beginner but has a tricky box to overcome. Can measure up again. ZIPPING STRIKER (3) turned spotting a big start finishing seventh (18.50) last time in a Mix 1/2/3 at this track. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. COMET A COST (1) has claims fresh from a recent placing.

Last start finished fourth on November 19 over 388m at Gosford behind He's Grand, beaten 5.5 lengths (22.98) in a Mix 3/4. Will find this a little easier. Should be around the mark.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 324m in 17.78 last start, beating He's Grand. Deserved winner last time after finishing in the money two on end prior to that. Can make it two on the trot.
