Richmond Race 8

Mark Hughes Foundation 1-2 Win

Prize Money: $3,110

ZIPPING XADEN (2) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth (23.25) in a Grade 5 at this track. Ready to return to form. RADETZKY MARCH (6) boasts an excellent record and yet to miss the frame including one wins from three starts, the latest winning (30.16) over 520m at this track. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. ZIPPING ARKLE (8) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (29.93) at this track. Worth another chance. ANCIENT EGYPTIAN (3) is in the mix following a brief let-up.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 520m at Wentworth Park. Has the rails draw but others rate better.

Good performance after racing just off the speed to post a big 5.5 lengths win at this track over 520m (30.16) beating Wangaroa Wally in Mix on August 13. Looks well placed and should be tough to beat.
