Maitland Race 5 - Husqvarna Max 150 Point Heat 3 H
DESPICABLE NITRO (7) rises out to this distance for the first time. Missed the frame last time when 5th and beaten 5 lengths (18.08) at Richmond Straight. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. SPENCER BANNER (8) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (17.87) in a Grade 5 at Richmond Straight. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Expected to feature. GOOFY ETHICS (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth (30.88) in a Grade 5 at Taree Super Track. Shapes as one to consider. KELLY BONKERS (2) will have admirers after placing last time out.

Didn't make the placings last time at Taree Super Track (30.88) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fifth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.
