Maitland Race 8 - Hunter Concrete Group
DIGGER SURE CAN (3) boasts a consistent overall record including seven wins from 20 starts, but missed the frame latest when fourth (25.61) over 450m at this track. Solid record here winning two races. Has the ability and expected to prove tough to beat again. SAMSON'S RIOT (1) turned in a better effort at Grafton last start, finishing third behind Extra Voltage (25.61) in a NG. Chased the leaders and with a clean run can be prominent. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Expected to feature. DESPICABLE MILO (2) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 400m behind SIR TICK (22.94) in a Grade 5. Placed at his previous run. Good beginner aided by a nice draw. Expected to give a good account. SUNBURNT KEEPER (6) cannot be ruled out.

Ran a better race when third behind Extra Voltage at Grafton last start over 450m (25.61). Likely to play a major role.

Was a winner three back at this track then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when fourth (25.61) at this track. Better than last run and looks set to run well.

Well supported last time and gave a sight after a fast early split but could manage only the minor money, finishing a 1.75 lengths third (22.71) over 400m at this track. Rates highly on best form. Must include.

Country racer who only starts fairly, coming off mixed results. Was 7th last start over 450m at Grafton (25.99) beaten 8 lengths, behind Zippy Tippy in Grade 5 on July 15. Will have to be at his best; looks a solid hope.

Good performance after racing just off the speed to win by 1.3 lengths at Richmond Straight over 324m (17.59) beating Zipping Saigo in Grade 4 on July 16. Consistent record from this draw. Solid chance.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when third (22.75) over 400m at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. Has to do a bit more.
