Richmond Straight Race 5 - Delta Rent A Car
MELANIA BANNER (6) box seated before sticking on well to finish 4.5 lengths away in second (22.84) at Richmond in a Grade 3/4 over 401m. Form from her last run is proving strong. Deserves serious consideration. SEND IT SILVER (1) hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior rocketed around 324m at this track in 17.69. Top win two back and can measure up again. ELITE CHEVY (7) goes very well here starting 27 times for 12 wins and six minors. Missed the frame latest (18.03) when seventh over 324m at this track in a Mix 1/2/3. Among the main chances. MUSCLE MEMORY (2) is in winning form and worth including in the main hopes.

Won two starts back over 324m at this track. Last start he finished 3rd over 324m at this track beaten 2.25 lengths (17.89) behind Our Inspiration in a Mix 1/2/3 on April 25. Draw likely to suit. More than capable and has to be included.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 324m at this track. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Hit the ground running with a scorching early sectional but found one better when runner up over 401m at Richmond clocking 22.84. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last on April 25 over 324m at this track behind Our Inspiration beaten 4.5 lengths (18.03) in a Mix 1/2/3. Placed two back at this track. Has run blistering time here with a 17.41 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.
