Maitland Race 7

Les Darcy Cup Final F

Prize Money: $2,915

ZIPPER STRIDE (4) is in top form, scoring by 1.75 lengths (22.43) over 400m at this track and making it back to back wins. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Looks the one to beat. OCCULENT (1) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive three back in his flying 22.78 win at The Gardens over 400m. Top win three back and rates a key player again. RED HOT TINA (7) stalked the lead from a middle draw and boxed on well to finish a nose back in second (22.50) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Will give a great sight again. BACKYARD FRIENDS (3) returns here with a good chance to improve on last time.

Narrowly beaten last time at this track when only a neck from the winner but did record a slick 22.39 over the 400m journey. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split and ran away with a 0.8 lengths win at this track over 400m in 22.69. In winning form now and looks a major threat.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Gosford over 515m. Last start finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on September 21 over 400m at this track behind Zipper Stride beaten 1.75 lengths (22.56). Had won two on end prior to the last start placing. Can atone.

Improved two runs back to score then won again last start over 400m at this track (22.43), beating Backyard Friends. Query squeeze box draw. Top chance to chalk-up the hat-trick.

Solid performance to win by a neck at this track over 400m (22.37) beating Occulent in Grade 5 on September 21. Good win last start but looks tested in this difficult assignment.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (22.50) at this track over 400m. Has a superb 22.35 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.
