Maitland Race 7

Ranvet K-Max

Prize Money: $2,515

ICEBERG AHEAD (2) jumps from box 2 for the first time after scoring at this track (22.33) in a Grade 5. Has a strong winning record here. Has good speed and a low draw is a big help. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. POKER NISMO (3) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at The Gardens over 400m. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. One of main contenders. HAPPY ETHICS (5) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (30.17) at Wentworth Park behind Galba Major in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Comes through a solid form race last start. Expected to feature again. SIR TICK (8) warrants respect following a recent placing at big odds.

Good performance to win by 0.8 lengths at this track over 400m (22.33) beating No Cents in Grade 5 on June 8. Looks the one to beat again.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at The Gardens over 400m in 23.46 last start, beating Zuma Zesta. Well-performed from this draw. Key chance on best form.

Ran a better race when second behind Galba Major at Wentworth Park last start over 520m (30.17). Made up good ground from the back and will be strong late again. Has to be included.
