Richmond Race 5

Ladbrokes Richmond Oaks Heat 3 H

Prize Money: $3,455

ZIPPING CHETTY (1) has been out of the placings at her last two outings but shapes well for this if she can recapture her brilliant win a few runs back, getting around this track over 520m in 29.66. Expecting another bold showing. CUMBRIA CHRISSY (7) good strike-rate and a bold showing is expected here. CLASSY BANDIT (5) good effort to score last start by a nose over 520m at Wentworth Park in 29.78. Can go well again with the right run.

Last couple of starts have been ordinary but she goes well over this track and distance with three wins from six starts. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Eye-catching performance to post a big 5.5 lengths victory in a Grade 4/5 last start at Gosford, clocking a brilliant 22.08 for the 388m trip. Harder here but will be in this for a long way.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by a nose at Wentworth Park (29.78) beating Late In Winter in a Grade 5 on February 12. Can keep things rolling.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (29.83) over 520m at this track. Has to do a bit more.

Good effort to win last start by 4 lengths over 431m at Gunnedah in a handy (24.80), beating Snooping. Will find this a bit tougher, tempted to look elsewhere.
