Sires On Ice @ Richmond

Stake: $2,779

KIWI GOLFER (1) stalked lead from an outside box last start before finishing third (17.84) at this track in a Grade 5 over 324m. Ready to find winning form. KAROLINE BANNER (7) jumped well to win over the 400m at Maitland two runs back then prominent throughout when finishing third at Richmond last start. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Can feature again. CHIEF CHEVY (2) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (17.81) at this track. Will give a great sight again. KEAON BANNER (8) is in the mix after placing last time out.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (29.99) over 515m at Gosford. Awkward draw to overcome. Looks tested in this line-up.
