Maitland Race 5

Shipley Meats

Stake: $3,825

QUICK THINKIN' (4) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (29.80) from Box 6 at Nowra. Likely to feature again. MIA ZIPPER (7) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with four wins and a placing from eight tries. Comes off a (22.14) win last time, scoring by 5 lengths in a Grade 4 over 388m at Gosford. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. HAPPY ETHICS (1) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Gosford over 515m behind Kung Fu Ethics (30.14) in a Grade 5. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. Must be included in calculations. MAGIC FLETCH (3) was beaten into fourth last time but ran impressive time with a swift 25.13. Worth thought on that run.

Missed the frame latest (30.14) when fifth over 515m at Gosford in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Can feature with the right run.

Missed the frame last start when fourth and beaten 2.5 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Looks a danger to the top few if returns to best form this time.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 2 length third at Nowra but did record a fast 29.80 over the 520m trip. Can measure up with a repeat of that effort.

Improved two runs back to score then won again last start over 388m at Gosford (22.14), beating Sail Away Sam. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.
