Maitland Race 12 - Betta Home Living
BLAZIN' FIRE (7) goes very well here starting five times for two wins and two minors. Below best last time at Wentworth Park (30.21) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length sixth. Looks well placed and should feature. ZIPPING HAGEN (1) is in top form lately including a dynamic win at The Gardens in 22.57 two back then backing it up with a 25.19 victory at this track over 450m latest. Has the ability and looks a key chance. TARAWI LOCK (2) missed the frame latest when eighth at Wentworth Park (30.57) but was a winner three back in the best time of the program. Has a good record here at this journey. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minor placings. Has ability and is one of the better chances. LOCKDOWN (5) generally performs well over this distance.

Missed the frame last start when fifth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning three on end before placing two back. Has ability but this tough and looks a place chance at best.
