Maitland Race 5

Shipley Meats

Prize Money: $3,455

BADGER'S BEAST (7) was a last start winner (24.97) from Box 8 at Grafton. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Well placed and will be tough to beat. LOCKDOWN (4) is a talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has quickly put himself into the picture to win the last couple of runs. Last start won this track in a handy 22.36 beating Brailey Banner. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. One of main contenders. RISE UP NISMO (1) goes very well this course and distance starting 29 times for 10 wins and 14 minors. Recorded a 2.5 lengths win (25.00) in a Grade 4/5 last time at this track. Looks suited here and can measure up. HOT SHOT ETHICS (5) can measure up with the right run.

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 2.5 lengths over 450m at this track (25.00). Looks a solid hope.

Lifted to win two runs back and got the cash again last start over 400m at this track (22.36,) beating Brailey Banner. Query squeeze box draw. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a nose in 24.97, beating President Rolex. Last start finished 7th over 520m at Wentworth Park beaten 13 lengths (30.40) behind Master Mcgraw in a Grade 5 on April 5. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Comes off a (24.97) win last time, scoring by 1.75 lengths in a NG over 450m at Grafton. Box stats strong with nine wins and three placings from 13 starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Good effort to win last start by 6 lengths over 400m at this track in a handy (22.23), beating Jakey Blue. Will find this a bit tougher, cannot enthuse on this occasion.
