Maitland Race 4

Prize Money: $3,135

BLINDSPOT (2) was among the minors three back at Gosford then missed the frame the last two, but drawn box 2 this time where he has won before. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. BLUE FABIO (3) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (22.67) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Can do much better this time. DESPICABLE DASH (7) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Mix 3/4 winner three back (22.77) at this track over 400m. Can find the frame this time. DESPICABLE KYRO (1) impressed last start, winning in good time. Must include.

On a hot streak of form, the latest charging out of the boxes early and scoring at this track (22.31), making it three straight wins. Looks a solid contender.

Was out of placings last time (22.67) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Looks suited and should go close.

Good performance to win by half a length at this track over 400m (22.51) beating Fireball Zed in NG on June 8. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Won two starts back won at this course over 400m. Couldn't reproduced the effort last start when he finished 3rd over 400m at this track beaten 0.8 lengths (22.55) behind Mia Zipper in a NG on June 8. Not keen despite the good run last time.
