Maitland Race 5 - Shipley Meats Max 150 Points Heat 3 H
TROPICAL ETHICS (1) has a strong record this trip with two wins and two placings from six starts. Comes off a (22.44) win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 400m at this track. Looks suited here and rates on top. GANGSTER GORT (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (22.93) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Good beginner aided by a nice draw. Has ability and can measure up. CLUSTER ONE (3) has missed the placings at his last couple but was in the money three back when second (22.71) at this track in a Grade 5. Expected to do much better this time. STORMY LANE (8) will be thereabouts while fresh.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 400m in 22.44 last start, beating Mythic. Likes the rails so has hit winning form and can measure up again.

Tends to be fast away. Last start finished fourth in a Grade 5 on June 30 over 515m at Gosford behind Zipping Serrano, beaten 6 lengths (30.26). Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (29.98) at big odds over 515m at The Gardens. Drawn out wide but in the mix on her best form.
