Richmond Race 8

Mhf Tackling Brain Cancer 1-2 Win

Prize Money: $3,110

MR. NICKO (3) missed the frame two back but wound up strongly last time, finishing on late when second (30.00) in a Grade 5 at Wentworth Park. Form from his last run is proving strong. One of the leading chances. ZIPPING MOONEY (1) produced a moderate effort last time when seventh at Wentworth Park over 520m behind Texas Madam (30.67) in a Grade 5. Was a winner prior to that. Shapes as one to consider. ZIPPING ADMIRAL (8) recorded a 1.75 lengths win in a Mix last time 30.20 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from on outside draw. Has the ability and looks a key chance. LAYLA'S LILLY (7) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.
