Maitland Race 4

The Windsor Castle Maitland Cup

Prize Money: $12,240

MASTER CATCH (10) has been going around against much stronger opposition of late, tackling the Inter Dominion series before a fifth last start at Menangle. Good effort for fourth to eventual series winner Don Hugo in the final round of ID heats two back when he drew the second row. That looks good form for this. DADNDAVE (8) did a good job to score by a head despite breaking and racing wide at Newcastle two weeks ago. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line and if the gaps come can make an impact again. FAR OUT BRO (6) performed third when resuming at this venue last time out. Fitter and has yet to miss the top-three here. ROCLEA IMAGE (7) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance at this circuit.

Didn't do much at the last run, was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr6) over 1609m at Newcastle, at the bell was 9th-14.36 beaten 11 m by Conor Mcgregor (1:56.50) in NR up to 57 on December 13 at $16. Before that 8th (Sr3) over 1646m at this track was 9th-11.4+m at the bell, beaten 9 m by Chlobro (1:59.50) in NR up to 59 on December 1 at $12. Must improve sharply.

Failed to impress last start; hung in on scoring up, 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at Newcastle, at the bell was 7th-12.47 beaten 7 m by Killara Shogun (1:54.80) in NR 56 to 58 on December 21 at $3.30. Showed ability the outing before when she won by 2.5 m as favourite (Sr3) at Tamworth (1:56.10) beating Paratrouper in NR up to 60 on December 12 at $2.30 at the bell was 3rd-6.2. Should be there at the business end.
