Maitland Race 8 - Hunter Concrete Group
BLINDSPOT (1) has a strong record this track and trip with three wins and three placings from eight starts. Missed the frame latest (25.63) when fourth over 450m at Grafton in a Grade 4/5. Rates on top and should go close. SYDNEY KEEPING (7) has a strong overall record having five wins and three places from 11 starts including a last start success (22.57) over 401m at Richmond. Tends to go well on this box draw. Will go close here with a clear run. RISE UP NISMO (2) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw and went on to finish third (24.99) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 450m. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to be in this for a long way. SIGN ACTION (4) was in the money last time at The Gardens (29.96) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 5.5 lengths second. Loves this draw, having won three of five starts.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a neck third over 450m at this track, clocking 24.99. Thereabouts last couple and expected to run well.

Good effort to win last start by 2.25 lengths over 400m at this track in a handy (22.25), beating Reggae Ethics. Will find this a bit tougher, prefer to watch at this stage.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Richmond over 401m in 22.57 last start, beating Brett Keeping. Looks to be back in fine fettle. Makes plenty of appeal.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 2.25 lengths fourth (25.14) over 450m at this track. This looks too tough.
