Maitland Race 6 - Ladbrokes Million Dollar Chase Regional Heat 1 H

ABSCONDING (8) was well back early but attacked the line strongly to finish second (22.58) at Richmond in NG. Failed to fire only run here. Rates highly and will give a great sight. ZIPPER ON TIME (4) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with four wins and a placing from six tries. Hit the frame latest (22.27) when second at Bulli in a NG. Can hit the frame with the right run. HOT SHOT ETHICS (1) has a strong record here with 16 wins and six placings from 32 starts. Comes off a (22.12) win last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a NG over 400m at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. MODEST MAN (2) is a last-start placegetter worth considering.

Rocketed out of the boxes with a sizzling early split and led throughout to score when a 0.8 lengths winner (22.12) at this track. Winner last time and looks well placed again. Worth following up.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at The Gardens over 515m in 29.63. Followed that up with a minor placing over 400m at Bulli at Grade 4/5 two weeks ago. Solid chance with even luck.

Facing tougher opposition than she has faced recent starts and current form just not to what is required to figure. Hard to have. Others look better.

In the money last time at The Gardens (34.71) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 3 length second. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Richmond over 401m. Last start finished 2nd in a NG on September 4 over 401m at Richmond behind Federal Player beaten 1.5 lengths (22.58). Should be right in the finish.
