Richmond Race 12

Gapnsw.com.au Masters

Prize Money: $2,310

VENUS BANNER (7) is a classy type who was an all the way winner at Richmond Straight (17.78) making it three straight wins. Form at the trip sound including 10 wins. Goes very well from this draw with five wins and three minor placings from 10 starts. Ideally placed to take this out. SLINGSHOT LAYLA (2) was fast away and led throughout to score by a space two back then could manage only a 12 length 8th at Dapto (17.96) last time. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to her credit. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. MICKY LEAP (5) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Richmond Straight behind VENUS BANNER (18.01) in a Mix 1/2/3. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Winning chance. COSMIC BILLY (1) has a solid strike rate from this box.
