Maitland Race 5

Shipley Meats Pathways

Prize Money: $2,335

CALYPSO ETHICS (1) showed strong early pace from the wide draw and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fifth over 515m Gosford in 29.80. Has a strong record out of this box with five wins and three minor placings from 10 starts. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. SIR TICK (6) ran below best last time finishing fourth (23.16) over 400m at The Gardens from Box 3. Should be in this for a long way. BRING ON BLING (8) doesn't win out of turn. Finished third (18.20) at Richmond Straight latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Solid record at the distance winning six races. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and six minor placings to her credit. Expected to be in the finish again. FIRE UP FROG (2) is worth consideration.

Didn't make the placings last time at Gosford (29.80) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3 length fifth. Strong record off the draw with five wins and three minors from 10 starts. Looks a leading chance.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (22.47) over 388m at Gosford. Aided by a low draw but will need the breaks to go her way.

Latest effort finished 4th over 400m at The Gardens beaten 7 lengths (23.16) behind Hard Style Girl in a Grade 4/5 on October 24. Has run slick time here with a 22.44 PB at the distance. Go close.
