Maitland Race 3

Husqvarna 0-1 Win

Prize Money: $3,135

ZIPPER STRIDE (1) made a promising debut to finish in the money then recorded his maiden success (22.33) at this track over 400m. Nicely drawn here. Tougher here but can go on with it. URBAN BISCUIT (4) did well on debut April 10 at The Gardens over 515m (30.23) when jumping from a wide box. Expected to be in this for a long way. COBBLESTONE ROAD (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (23.30) last time in a Grade 5 at The Gardens. One of the main contenders. SWIFT WIND (7) is usually competitive but a maiden win eludes.

Facing tougher opposition than he has faced recent starts and current form just not to what is required to figure. Has failed to show enough to come into contention here.

Ran an eye-catching race on debut when settled well off the lead early but got home well to finish third (30.23) at The Gardens over 515m. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
