Richmond Straight Race 12 - Ladbrokes Odds Surge
LESTER BANNER (5) slotted in just off the lead from the wide box before lifting strongly to score (17.88) at this track in a Maiden over 324m. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. ZIPPING KEPIL (1) first look at this trip and drops in distance on last start. Should get a good run from the inside box. Looks one of the chances. CHINESE CHECKERS (2) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw and went on to finish third (18.17) at this track in a Grade 5 over 324m. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from three starts. Expecting another good run. MESSY BOY (7) warrants respect with the drop in distance.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (29.80) over 515m at The Gardens. Has a low draw but will need the right run to feature.

Showed good early speed on debut. Won comfortably by 3.5 lengths at this track (17.88) beating Twisted Toe in a Maiden on January 29. Will find this much tougher but he's got good box manners and speed. Back in top order and looks the one to beat.

Did a good job two starts back at Dubbo to win by 5.5 lengths in 18.41, beating Jacobite Poison. Last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 on January 10 over 318m at Dubbo behind Ghibelline beaten 17 lengths (19.70). Prefer in something easier.

Didn't make the placings last time at Richmond (31.04) in a Mix, finishing a 16 length seventh. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.
