Richmond Race 7 - Ladbrokes Blackbook
ZIPPING MARQUEZ (8) could manage only second at this track last time but turned heads when clocking a speedy 22.43 over 400m at Bulli the start prior. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times. FLASH BANDIT (2) boasts a consistent overall record including four wins from 13 starts, but missed the frame latest when seventh (30.71) over 520m at Nowra. Super consistent and can feature with the right run. POCKET TALK (7) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (20.52) from Box 4 at Nowra. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from an outside draw. Winning chance. RUSTY CORTEZ (1) cannot be written off despite a miss here at his latest outing.

Has finished eighth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 13 lengths behind Noir over 401m. Capable of taking this out.

Was out of placings last time (30.71) at Nowra in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 15 lengths. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. Looks well placed and should feature.
