Richmond Race 6

Bernie Burrow @ Stud

Stake: $3,186

MELANIA BANNER (1) goes very well this course and distance starting 12 times for five wins and four minors. Comes off a (17.62) win last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 3/4 over 324m at Richmond Straight. Appeals as a leading chance in this. SUMMER DREAM (3) is a promising dog in the frame at 16 of 44 starts including 17 wins and was in the minors again latest (22.78) over 401m at this track. Form here at the trip sound including six wins. Rates a winning chance on best. ON A DIME (5) hit the ground running off the inside draw and there until late when holding on for a minor finishing third (22.85) at this track in a Free For All over 401m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Leading player again. MAYBE NEXT WEEK (6) won as favourite last time and is in the mix again.

Good effort to score just six days ago over 324m at Richmond Straight by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 3/4. Can make it two on the bounce.

Jumped well at this track two runs back then again settled forward and finished third at this track last start over 401m. Hasn't been far away. Don't underestimate.

Did a good job two starts back at Gosford to win by 0.8 lengths in 22.22, beating Fascinate John. Last start finished last over 401m at this track beaten 7 lengths (23.25) behind Maybe Next Week in a Free For All on August 5. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Gosford over 388m. Last start finished 3rd over 401m at this track beaten 1.75 lengths (22.85) behind Maybe Next Week in a Free For All on August 5. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Has been in tremendous form, putting four wins back-to-back. Had plenty of support last start when he won by 0.8 lengths at this track (22.73) beating Summer Dream in a Free For All on August 5. Has the ability to be in the finish.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 7 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Tough field and looking to others this time.
