Richmond Race 5

Ladbrokes 5Th Grade Heat 2 H

Stake: $3,359

ZIPPING GRINCH (4) recorded an impressive win after leading them home to make it two on end, scoring by 7 lengths (29.41) at this track over 520m. Can continue on his winning ways. MIGHT HAVE BEEN (7) could manage only a 5 length fifth last start over 600m at The Gardens but in a sharp 34.68. Has the ability and can measure up. ZIPPING BONUCCI (2) produced a modest effort most recently when sixth at Bulli over 472m behind James Alarm (26.88) in a Grade 5. Bold showing expected. EXTRAORDINAIRE (8) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can bounce back.

Caught the eye with a fast early split last time and setting up a 7 length win at this track over 520m in 29.41, making it two wins on end. Top chance to chalk-up the hat-trick.
