Richmond Straight Race 1 - Delta Rent A Car Maiden
ZIP ON ZIPPER (3) is a first starter from the Natina Howard kennel by Bernardo out of Tiny Hands Johns. Betting to provide the best guide to his chances. BUZZ LIGHTNING (1) turned in a good run last time, finishing in the placings (25.97) at Temora in a Maiden. Lines up from box 1 for the first time. Winning chance. ANJO STATUE (6) has shown decent speed at his last couple and filled minor placings, last time finishing second beaten 1.5 lengths (18.07). Can feature again. LIGHTNING TIGER (4) is a newcomer from the Troy Vella kennel. No favours with the draw and will need to begin well. Profiles well so watch market closely.

Has raced three times and is overdue for a win, the latest offering a second (18.07) over 324m at this track. Has finished in the money at the last two starts. Best form too good to ignore.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in his races. Last start finished eighth over 324m at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Likely to find this too tough.
