Maitland Race 4

East Maitland Bowling Club

Prize Money: $2,655

FEDERAL PLAYER (2) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at The Gardens, scoring by 4.5 lengths (22.67). Ideally placed to score again. BADGER'S BEAST (7) is yet to be beaten at the course and distance, scoring 12 wins from as many starts. Scored by one length last time (17.48) in a NG over 324m at Richmond Straight. Can feature with the right run. FREIGHT EXPRESS (4) is better than last start when seventh (30.25) from Box 7 at Wentworth Park over 520m. Deserves plenty of respect. BOLD CHARM (1) was prominent throughout when successful last start. That form reads well.

Recorded a half a length win (22.31) in a Grade 5 last time at Gosford. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

In a hot streak of form, the latest rocketing out of the boxes early and scoring at The Gardens (22.67), making it eight straight wins. In sparkling form and can win again.

Latest effort finished 7th over 520m at Wentworth Park beaten 14 lengths (30.25) behind Secret Bandit in a Grade 5 on February 14. Has performed below expectations at his last couple but is capable of far better.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 525m at Taree Super Track. Thereabouts last start but looks tested this time.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Richmond Straight over 324m in 17.48 last start, beating Gets Late Early. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 7, scoring nine times. Go close.

Did a good job two starts back at The Gardens to win by 4.5 lengths in 22.92, beating Pearl Shiraz. Last start finished 5th over 400m at this track beaten 13 lengths (23.49) behind Prince Vinnie in a Grade 4/5 on February 23. Hard to recommend this time.
