Maitland Race 4 - Windsor Castle Hotel
CESSNOCK CURTAIN (1) showed blistering pace early and gave a sight when in the minors, beaten 0.8 lengths over 520m Wentworth Park in 29.84. Top prospect. PAST TENSE (4) finished fourth last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 400m at this track, taking a NG in an exceptional 22.23. Has the ability and can find winning form again. KIARNI PHOENIX (8) was in the money last time at Taree Super Track (30.57) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 4.5 lengths third. Has already won two times from this draw. Looks well placed here and among the chances. RISE UP NISMO (2) placed last time (25.59) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten one length. Has already won two times from this draw.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was an eye-catching winner scoring by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 4/5 at The Gardens and clocking a solid 29.65 over the 515m trip. Expected to push the clock again here.

Fast starter. Last start finished 4th in a Free For All on March 9 over 400m at this track behind Badger's Beast beaten 10 lengths (22.72). Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.
