Richmond Race 12

Ladbrokes Blackbook Masters

Stake: $2,541

CON CABANG (7) drew this same box last time when in the minors (23.41) in a Mix 1/2/3 over 401m at this track. Rates on top in this line up. FASCINATE DONALD (4) goes very well this trip starting 71 times for 24 wins and 31 minors. Comes off a (18.50) win last time, scoring by a nose in a Grade 4/5 over 320m at this track. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. ZIPPING COLIN (1) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 0.8 lengths at this track in a handy 18.48 beating Miss Voltage. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from eight attempts. Must be included in calculations. MY BOY AIDEN (2) can sneak into the finish.

Was out of placings last time (22.63) at Gosford in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and seven minors. Can feature in the finish.

Lifted to win two runs back and scored again last start over 320m at this track (18.50,) beating Cosmic Billy. Query squeeze box draw. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Won over this track and trip. Latest effort finished 3rd in a Mix 1/2/3 on December 15 over 401m at this track behind Irish Bullet beaten 10 lengths (23.41). Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.
