Maitland Race 1 - Welcome To Maitland Gbota Bitches Only Maiden
SPRING ESPRESSO (2) ran an eyecatching debut April 25 at Richmond Straight over 324m (17.89) after starting from out wide. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Good form should continue. IONA HUNTRIX (1) turned in a better effort at Bulli last start, finishing third behind Tropical Ethics (19.66) in a Maiden. Turned chasing the leaders but kept coming. Can measure up. FANCY PAY CHEQUE (5) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fourth (23.23) at this track. Has ability and can measure up. SHE'S A ANGEL (8) has hardly put a foot wrong of late and will be competitive again.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 3rd in a Maiden on April 28 over 340m at Bulli behind Tropical Ethics beaten 5 lengths (19.66). Should prove hard to beat.

Ran a nice race on debut when settled off the speed early but got home well to finish third (17.89) at Richmond Straight over 324m. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

Finished in the minors at big odds last time when third (23.02) at this track, making it two placings on end. Awkward draw to overcome. Prefer others.

Modest effort last time out when sixth over 400m at this track. Not keen, needs to lift.

Has raced 27 times and is overdue for a win, the latest offering a second (22.53) over 400m at this track. In the money at the last five runs. Has to be included.
