Maitland Race 5 - Shipley Meats
KING KERMARO (7) was beaten for speed from wide out but attacked the line strongly to place, 5 lengths from the winner (30.13) at Gosford in Grade 5. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Good form should continue. GO FORWARD JACKI (4) hit the ground running from out wide and on speed early but faded and swamped late when 7th at Wentworth Park in Grade 5 company. Leading chance. GOOFY ETHICS (2) jumped favourite and quickly to the front but run down late to finish second (30.13) at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5 over 520m. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Winning chance. RUGGED ETHICS (1) has been in the placings at his last two runs, most recently when third (22.88) in a Grade 5 over 400m at this track.

Charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a 0.8 lengths second (30.13) over 520m at Wentworth Park. Strong form emerging from the last run. Looks one of the chances.

Latest effort finished last over 520m at Wentworth Park beaten 10 lengths (30.38) behind Puerile in a Grade 5 on June 25. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 622m at Richmond. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
