Maitland Race 7

Mighty Chasers Syndicate

Prize Money: $2,655

HOT SHOT ETHICS (1) was in the placings last time but prior to that he posted a dynamic 22.25 win over 400m at this track. Can return to winning form here if runs up to time two back. ZIPPING HAGEN (7) was well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional, going on to clock 22.95 in a 2.25 lengths win at The Gardens over 400m. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from five starts. Sure to measure up. MIA ZIPPER (8) has a strong record this track and trip with five wins and two placings from 11 starts. In the money last time at this track (22.45) in a Grade 3/4, finishing a one length third. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. REGGAE ETHICS (3) has claims again if he runs up to the latest effort.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 2.25 lengths over 400m at The Gardens in a handy 22.95, beating Starlight Duke. Looks the one to beat.
