Maitland Race 5 - Shipley Meats
NAN SAID NO (6) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing fourth (23.07) at this track last time. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Key runner on his best form. URBAN TIGER (2) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fifth (23.03), beaten 6 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Can do much better this time. SENTOSA (1) turned in a solid run last start over 450m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 5 lengths (25.63). Has a good winning strike rate at this journey. Expected to run well. BACKYARD FRIENDS (8) is new to this trip but is worth considering.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (30.15) over 515m at Gosford. Nicely drawn on the inside but will need everything to go her way.

Was out of placings last time when fifth (23.03) at this track in a Grade 5. Will jump from box 2 for the first time. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Missed the frame latest (22.78) when sixth over 388m at Gosford in a Grade 5. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Country racer who only starts fairly, coming off mixed results. Was 2nd last start over 324m at Richmond Straight (17.67) beaten 3 lengths, behind Spencer Banner in NG on August 13. Hard to envisage a win.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.07) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length fourth. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and four places from six starts. Key chance and should go close.

Missed the frame last start when a 6 length seventh (17.92) at Richmond Straight. Previous form sound including a win three back at Richmond Straight. Has ability but will need everything to go right.

Won his last two including a narrow win last start over 324m at Richmond Straight by a nose in a Maiden. Solid beginner who will give a sight from out wide.
