Maitland Race 4 - Windsor Castle Hotel 1-2 Win
EXORBITANT (2) shapes well for this backing up an outstanding 22.28 win with success at this track over 400m last time, recording 22.30. Expected to go close again if runs up to recent times. ZIPPER STRIDE (8) is a smart dog yet to miss the frame, last start scoring at this track (25.20), making it two straight wins. Super consistent and can feature with the right run. BAD KNEES (1) goes very well at the distance with two wins and a placing from four starts. Placed last time (25.41) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 3 lengths. Can feature with the right run. ZIPPING LOWENS (6) is worth consideration.

Won two starts back over 400m at this track. Last start he finished 2nd over 450m at this track beaten 3 lengths (25.41) behind Sorento To Excel in a Grade 5 on April 27. Draw likely to suit. Safe beginner and drawn to feature off the inside rail.

Has finished fifth at his last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 450m. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Caught the eye with a fast early split last time and setting up a 0.8 lengths win at this track over 450m in 25.20, making it two wins on end. In top form and can make it three straight.
