Maitland Race 5 - Tg Windsor Castle Hotel 6-15
HIS FERNANDO (1) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at this track over 400m behind Tornado Ethics (22.81) in a Grade 4/5. Was in the money the start prior. Safe beginner who draws ideally on the inside. Has ability and looks hard to stop. TERRELL BANNER (3) scored last time out by 0.8 lengths at Richmond over 401m (23.13). Missed the frame only look here. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. Must be included in calculations. JILLIBY SCOTTY (5) showed good early burn and was there until turning but swamped late to finish 6th at Richmond Straight in Grade 5 company. Expected to feature in the finish. AUSSIE RATTLER (2) found the frame for the second consecutive time when narrowly beaten into second last time out (22.98) over 400m at The Gardens. Safe beginner who should be prominent to the first bend.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 2.25 lengths second (22.98) over 400m at The Gardens. With a good start will take catching off the low draw.

Finished sixth (18.20) last start at Richmond Straight. Prior to that had recorded four minor placings in a row. Drawn out wide and will need the breaks to go his way.
