Maitland Race 9

Greta Gbota Branch 1-6 Win Heat 4 H

Prize Money: $2,310

GO FORWARD ROCKY (6) was prominent throughout when winning in the fastest time of the card two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished 4th and beaten 4 lengths at Muswellbrook (19.79). Has good speed so he should be prominent despite the draw. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. BERNARDO BEACH (3) ran below his best last time finishing fourth (22.62) over 400m at this track in a Grade 5. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Should be in this for a long way. MAGIC TECHNIQUE (1) has mixed form recently, finishing fifth (22.86) in a Grade 5 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Safe beginner and drawn well on the inside. Key player on best and worth another try. WALKER'S ON (7) picked up a cheque in slick time most recently - in the mix again.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (23.49) over 400m at The Gardens. Has the inside draw and is among the better hopes.

Missed the frame latest (19.79) when fourth over 336m at Muswellbrook in a Grade 4/5. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from five starts. Looks well placed and should feature.
