Maitland Race 9

Ladbrokes Odds Surge Masters

Stake: $2,541

WILSON'S PICK (5) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 1.75 lengths (22.46) at this track. Safe beginner but tricky box to overcome. Ideally placed to score again. TORVI TARO (7) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (18.97) in a Mix 1/2/3 at Dubbo. Form at the trip sound including seven wins. Has good speed and will be prominent from out wide. Great chance to atone. OUR CHINA RED (1) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Comments

Risky starter who put in a fair effort in easier race last start. Looks well drawn here from the rails and will take some catching if jumps well. Looks a solid contender.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 400m in 22.46 last start, beating Rattlin' Bye. Back in top order and looks the one to beat.

Was out of placings last time (18.97) at Dubbo in a Mix 1/2/3, finishing seventh and beaten 11 lengths. Has two wins and five placings from 12 starts from the draw. Has ability and looks a key chance.
