Maitland Race 5 - Ranvet K-Max Bitches Only Max 150 Points Heat 2 H
HOOKED ON HOPE (3) turned spotting a big start finishing seventh (23.72) last time in a Grade 5 at The Gardens. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. Rates on top in this line up. WHATEVER WILLOW (1) last appeared when too good (16.79) over 272m at The Gardens on May 9. Resumes after finishing sixth (16.79) at The Gardens over 272m ten weeks ago. Solid record at the distance winning three races. Looks well placed here and has the ability. Go well. FANCY PAY CHEQUE (8) is in winning form and worth including in the main hopes.

Last start finished 7th over 400m at The Gardens beaten 9 lengths (23.72) behind Extreme Blue in a Grade 5 on July 11. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to do much better.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (22.71) over 400m at this track. Tough draw to overcome but capable of a better result.

Got back last start and could only manage third but before that won by half a length at Gosford (22.60) beating Winter Lane in a Maiden on July 7. Thereabouts and rates well in this. Expected to run well.
