Maitland Race 4

Windsor Castle Hotel 1-3 Win

Prize Money: $3,135

SOFT WHISPER (1) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Has finished in the placings two on end now, the latest when second (23.44) at The Gardens. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Makes plenty of appeal. RUN ROLEX (2) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a 7 length second (17.88) in a Grade 5 at Taree Super Track. Leading player again. BAD KNEES (7) boasts strong form at this distance having won two times from three starts. Comes off a (22.52) win last time, scoring by 4.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 400m at this track. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. ZIPPING PERCAT (8) should be thereabouts.

Ran a better race when second behind My Dinosaur at Taree Super Track last start over 300m (17.88). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 400m. Last start finished last on April 20 over 450m at this track behind Rolling In Mud beaten 9 lengths (25.73) in a Grade 5. Capable of taking this out.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (31.23) over 525m at Taree Super Track. Tough draw to overcome but is worth plenty of thought.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 7 length fifth over 340m at Gunnedah. Can't recommend in this field.

Good performance to post a big 4.5 lengths win at this track over 400m (22.52) beating Rain About in Grade 5 on April 20. Back in top order and looks the one to beat.

Had been racing in honest fashion before missing the frame last time out, finishing fifth (30.83) at Wentworth Park. Drawn out wide and needs to bounce back.
