Maitland Race 5 - Shipley Meats
CRITICAL MOMENT (1) ran below his best last time finishing fourth (30.01) over 520m at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5. Form at the trip excellent including five wins. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Can discover winning form. DESPICABLE KYRO (5) bolted home by 5 lengths (22.29) at this track last time from box 1. Will need some luck early after drawing a tricky box here. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Deserves serious consideration again. WRECK IT REX (7) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 2 lengths at The Gardens in a handy 22.98 beating Rie Bale. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Expected to measure up again. FASCINATE BAILEY (2) looks an each-way chance.

Returns from a nine weeks break and only other fresh up run was on debut, when a 25.48 winner over 457m at Q Lakeside. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (22.48) at big odds over 388m at Gosford. Aided by a low draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Good effort last time when third (22.72) over 400m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Others preferred.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and went on to clock 22.98 when a 2 length winner over 400m at The Gardens. Has the ability to be in the finish.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 5 lengths in 22.77, beating Miss Louella. Last start finished 5th on June 4 over 324m at Richmond Straight behind Brimson Banner beaten 5 lengths (17.86) in a Grade 4/5. Likely to find this a bit tough.
