Maitland Race 2

East Maitland Bowling Club

Prize Money: $2,515

HOTSHOT LILY (1) boasts strong form at this track having won three times from four starts. Was out of placings last time (17.87) at Richmond Straight in a NG, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths. Looks a key chance on best form. BEAR'S HEAD (7) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 2.5 lengths away in second (22.56). Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from four attempts. Ready to find winning form. SIR TICK (5) turned in a moderate performance last time when fifth at this track over 400m behind Mia Zipper (22.96) in a NG. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from six starts. Can measure up this time. PRINCE BERNARDO (8) bold run expected on best form.

Hasn't been that impressive recently but she does have a good record at the track and trip, including three wins. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Comments

Did a good job two starts back at Richmond Straight to win by 2.25 lengths in 17.49, beating Athlete Tick. Last start finished 6th in a NG on June 11 over 324m at Richmond Straight behind Terrell Banner beaten 6 lengths (17.70). Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Strong performance to win by one length at The Gardens over 400m (23.18) beating Dollar Rolex in Grade 5 on June 6. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Was out of placings last time (22.96) at this track in a NG, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Can hit the frame with the right run.
