Maitland Race 4

Windsor Castle Hotel 2-4 Win

Prize Money: $3,135

DIGGER SURE CAN (1) is in hot form after clocking a quick 29.64 victory two back then followed up with a 29.93 win at Wentworth Park over 520m last time. Flying lately and expected to go close again. ROAD TO FAME (7) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive before that in his dynamic 22.36 win at this track over 400m. Smart winner two back and looks a key chance on that form. MOJAVE (5) had been racing in honest fashion recording two placings in a row before finishing seventh (23.12) at this track latest. Solid beginner who can clear the tricky draw. Deserves plenty of respect. DRINK TWISTIES (4) generally performs well here at this distance.

Has won his last two. Good effort to score just four days ago over 520m at Wentworth Park by 5.5 lengths in a Grade 5. Top chance to chalk-up the hat-trick.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2.75 lengths in 22.64, beating Iron Lady. Last start finished last over 400m at this track beaten 10 lengths (23.17) behind Special Style in a Grade 5 on March 23. Others read better.

Lines up from box 4 for the first time after finishing a 13 length seventh at The Gardens (30.81) in a Grade 5. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (22.95) over 400m at this track. Has a squeeze box to navigate and prefer each-way.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 1.75 lengths third over 400m this track in 22.53. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.
