Maitland Race 7

Garrards Horse & Hound Pace

Prize Money: $9,792

ROCKNROLL TONY (2) looks close to a win after back-to-back seconds. Registered another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely after racing parked to be beaten 2.3m at Newcastle. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Gets his chance to break through. BREXITT (4) was in the money here two starts ago then went well again last time at Newcastle, finishing 1.8 metres from the winner in third. Draws lower so can make an impact. BOOKER BAY (10) continues a run of second row draws but is racing well from there, winning two back at Newcastle and clocking in second here last time. REDS GOOD TO GO (8) is in the mix having followed a Dubbo win with a third at Newcastle last time out.

Two back was well beaten into second after showing early speed, behind Booker Bay at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 45 on December 13 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Cooindalai at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 32 on December 16 at $1.80. Among the top chances again.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Be Good Benny at this track over 1646m in a NR 36 to 39 on December 1 at $8. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.75 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Rogervalerio Lombo at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 38 on December 16 at $4. Big chance again.

Last start good run when 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m after racing wide at Newcastle, at the bell was 2nd-2.23 beaten 3 m by Avaiden (1:55.70) in NR up to 47 on December 21 at $7. Two runs back won by 11 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Dubbo (2:07.70) beating Missdeheir in NR up to 40 on December 13 at $2.30. Expect a bold showing despite the tricky draw.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
