Maitland Race 10 - The Sign Place Maitland
ZIPPER STRIDE (4) box seated early before forging to the lead turning and lifting to score (22.41) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. The hardest to beat again. MY MACHINE (6) jumped wide and had a clear run last start, leading all the way to score (19.68) at Gunnedah in a Grade 5 over 340m. Speedy beginner who can find the front despite the tricky draw. Can make it two on the bounce. DESPICABLE KYRO (3) goes very well this course and distance starting 13 times for five wins and six minors. Was out of the placings last time (22.78) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Can feature in the finish. JET FUEL (1) can fill a top-three spot.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.78) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 4.5 lengths fourth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 1.75 lengths over 400m at this track in a handy 22.41, beating Monsoon Ethics. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, this looks too tough.
