Maitland Race 8

Ontrack Insider

Prize Money: $2,335

BACKYARD FRIENDS (4) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (17.79) in a Grade 5 at Richmond Straight. Tough to beat if on-song. AUDREY'S MAGIC (5) hit the ground running from a squeeze draw and prominent early but run ended and faded to finish 6th at this track in Grade 5 company. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from eight starts. Deserves plenty of respect. NAN SAID NO (1) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing fourth (22.91) at this track last time. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. A big run wouldn't surprise. NOT CLIFFORD (2) is right in the mix.

Comments

Could only manage fourth last time but had been in the money the two starts prior, most recently at double figure odds when a narrow second (17.67) over 324m at Richmond Straight. Aided by the inside draw but needs to bounce back.

Won two starts back at this track over 400m in 22.55. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 400m at this track at Grade 5 level. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Latest effort finished 6th in a Grade 5 on September 3 over 324m at Richmond Straight behind Scrutinising beaten 2.5 lengths (17.79). Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this box. Sure to go well.

Was out of placings last time (22.97) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in his races. Last start finished fifth over 450m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Prepared to risk this time.
