Maitland Race 7

Ladbrokes Punter Assist

Prize Money: $3,110

COOL STORY (6) Finished well when 2nd last run at Bulli in 26.26s over 472m. In a purple patch of form this campaign. Expected to be flashing home. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. FIREBIRD (7) Ran 4th last run at Albion Park. Looking past the last run. Deserves consideration. RAPIDO VITO (8) Rocketed home when winning last start at this venue in 25.18s over 450m and can find a nice position from the draw. Worth strong consideration. GLITZY ETHICS (3) Was eating up the ground late to win last start at Richmond in 35.98s over 622m. Keeping a perfect win record the last 2 starts. Genuine winning chance.

Comments

Backing up quickly. Towards the rear last start at The Gardens but has the ideal draw. Has early speed and positions nicely. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Slight prospect.

On a quick turnaround. Failed to threaten last start at Richmond. Happy to overlook that run. Has run into the money frequently this campaign. Win will not surprise.

Made considerable ground when 2nd last start at the track in 31.91s over 565m. Been in the money 4 from 4 attempts this campaign. Should get going late. Definite claims.

On a short turnaround. Towards the tail last time at Richmond. Expecting improvement. Performing impressively since coming back from a spell. Always seems to find the line well. Suited against these.
