Maitland Race 7 - Tg Shipley Meats 6-15
MAGIC FLETCH (8) is worth forgiving last start after finishing sixth (30.42) from Box 5 at Wentworth Park over 520m. Better than last start and worth following up. NAUGHTY ZESTA (1) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 0.8 lengths at Gosford in a handy 22.38 beating Ruby Juan. Significant danger. NO SHARES (2) last few starts have been well off top, the latest finishing 7th (23.46) in a Free For All at The Gardens. Goes very well at course and distance boasting seven wins. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with three wins from seven starts. Expected to give a good account.

Good effort to score just six days ago over 388m at Gosford by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 5. Can make it two on the bounce.

Last couple of starts have been ordinary but he has solid credentials over this track and distance. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 5 at this track when a one length third but did run a quick 22.46 over the 400m journey. Bold showing expected but prefer each way again.
