Maitland Race 2

East Maitland Bowling Club Dogs Only Max 150 Point

Prize Money: $2,335

TOP BIN NISMO (6) stalked the lead from the inside draw then took over turning and burst clear to score (22.49) at this track in a Maiden over 400m. Well placed and can measure up. GRAND FORTE (1) stalked the lead from a low draw then burst clear to score (22.93) at The Gardens in a Grade 5 over 400m. One of the key runners again. ARMATREE FREDDO (2) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (23.00) at Gosford. Form at the trip sound including three wins. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. Leading chance. BOMBAY (8) is another with top-three prospects.

Bounced back last start after failing to finish two starts back when he finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on July 7 over 388m at Gosford behind Miss Bansky beaten 2.5 lengths (23.00). Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. Last start finished fourth over 450m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Likely to struggle this time.

Has finished sixth at the last two runs, both at Richmond Straight, the latest when beaten 5.5 lengths behind Despicable Leo over 324m. Very reliable from this draw. Live chance.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (22.71) at this track over 400m. Solid chance with even luck.
