Maitland Race 8 - Tg Gartelmann Wines 8-15
MIGHTY TROJAN (7) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 1.5 lengths into third (18.05) at Richmond Straight in a Mix 2/3 over 324m. Solid beginner and with a good start should have clear running out wide. Expected to feature in the finish again. EARLY CONCRETE (5) steps out for the first time at this course. Missed the frame last time when 4th and beaten 2.5 lengths (20.28) at Gunnedah. Solid beginner who can clear the tricky draw. Expected to run well. REIKO BATTY (8) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (23.81) last time in a Grade 5 at The Gardens. Form here sound including two wins. Safe beginner but wide box to overcome and will need some luck. Should be in this for a long way. DESPICABLE MILO (4) can fill a top-three spot.

Country racer who only starts fairly, coming off mixed results. Was 8th last start over 324m at Richmond Straight (18.27) beaten 7 lengths, behind Despicable Margo in Grade 5 on August 13. Will have to be at his best; ignore last start. Has ability and can feature in the finish.

Last start finished 4th over 340m at Gunnedah beaten 2.5 lengths (20.28) behind Kiando Estate in a Grade 5 on August 6. Good beginner who will take catching despite the middle draw.

In the money last time at Richmond Straight (18.05) in a Mix 2/3, finishing a 1.5 lengths third. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Looks a leading chance.

Returns from a nine weeks spell after being tipped out on the back of a fourth (23.81) over 400m at The Gardens. Has ability and worth including.
