Maitland Race 5

Shipley Meats Max 150 Points Heat 3 H

Prize Money: $2,335

TROPICAL ETHICS (1) has a strong record this trip with two wins and two placings from six starts. Comes off a (22.44) win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 400m at this track. Looks suited here and rates on top. GANGSTER GORT (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (22.93) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Good beginner aided by a nice draw. Has ability and can measure up. CLUSTER ONE (3) has missed the placings at his last couple but was in the money three back when second (22.71) at this track in a Grade 5. Expected to do much better this time. STORMY LANE (8) will be thereabouts while fresh.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 400m in 22.44 last start, beating Mythic. Likes the rails so has hit winning form and can measure up again.

Fast starter. Latest effort finished 4th in a Grade 5 on June 29 over 400m at this track behind Digger Sure Can beaten 9 lengths (22.93). Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recent effort finished last in a Grade 5 on July 2 over 340m at Gunnedah behind She's Tip Top beaten 14 lengths (20.89). Solid claims this line-up.

Tends to be fast away. Last start finished fourth in a Grade 5 on June 30 over 515m at Gosford behind Zipping Serrano, beaten 6 lengths (30.26). Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
