Richmond Race 4

Mark Hughes Foundation 0-1 Win

Prize Money: $3,110

ZIPPING BABE (6) turned in a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 520m behind Billy Ray's Girl (30.33) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Key runner on her best form. TEST DRIVE (2) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 6 lengths at this track in a handy 30.01 beating Zipping Ruffian. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. One of the key runners again. CHERI POP (8) has her first outing without a trial but profiles nicely for this. Can sneak into the finish on debut. ICE CREAM JOE (3) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.

Solid performance to post a big 6 lengths win at this track over 520m (30.01) beating Zipping Ruffian in Maiden on August 24. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Worth following up.

Did a good job two starts back at Gosford to win by 0.8 lengths in 22.57, beating Tommy Taro. Last start finished last over 401m at this track beaten 10 lengths (23.82) behind Upended in a Grade 5 on August 20. Rates among the chances this time.
