Maitland Race 9

Hunter Concrete Group

Prize Money: $2,515

VINTAGE RACER (8) is a progressive type who recorded his 6th career win last time out (22.92) at The Gardens. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Can continue the winning form. BRING ON BLING (5) missed the frame last time when fourth (22.45) at Gosford but prior to that had three placings in a row. Has never missed the frame here from five starts. One of the better chances. PRINCE VINNIE (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (30.13) in a Grade 4/5 at The Gardens. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. In the mix. WHITEY (7) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at The Gardens (30.13) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 8 length fifth. Box stats strong with four wins and four placings from 10 starts. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
