Maitland Race 9

Ontrack Insider

Prize Money: $2,515

BEAR'S HEAD (1) made light work of a wide draw last time with a slick early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing second (22.61) at this track over 400m. Leading chance again. LOCKDOWN (3) boasts a strong record this journey with five wins and four minors from 12 tries. Was out of placings last time (25.46) at Grafton in a NG, finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Among the main chances. TORNADO ETHICS (4) is a well performed dog and winner of 10 races who is worth forgiving after finishing out of the placings at this track (22.62). Has a good record here at this journey. Has a strong record from box 4, including two wins. Cannot be taken lightly. KIARNI BAD GIRL (2) placed last start and is in the mix again.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 400m. Last start finished 6th on July 9 over 450m at Grafton behind Gold Force beaten 3.5 lengths (25.46) in a NG. Broke a two-start winning streak when sixth last time. Can bounce back.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (22.62) over 400m at this track. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th on July 15 over 525m at Taree Super Track behind Zipping Schrub beaten 4.5 lengths (30.72) in a Grade 4/5. Placed two back at this track. Is a danger.
