Richmond Race 6

Grnsw Middle Distance Series

Prize Money: $9,000

RONALDO VELLA (8) missed the frame last time when fifth (29.78) in a Grade 5 at Wentworth Park after a slow start and settling well off the pace. Fast away and won (29.78) at Wentworth Park the start prior. Has never missed the frame here at the trip from three starts. Looks the one to beat on his best form. PAY KEEPING (1) rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (30.48) at Wentworth Park over 520m. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Can feature again. BLUE STORM (7) recorded a win over the 600m at The Gardens in a swift 34.57 last start. Bold showing expected again. ZIPPING EVANIA (2) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 6 length third over 520m Wentworth Park in 30.48. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when third (35.95) over 622m at this track. Squeeze draw to overcome. Has to do a bit more.
