Maitland Race 6 - Les Darcy Cup Heat 2 H
RED HOT TINA (4) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this track and trip which boasts two wins. Hit the frame latest (22.43) when third at this track in a Grade 5. With a clean break looks hard to beat. CALYPSO ETHICS (7) turned spotting a big start finishing seventh (30.66) last time in a Grade 5 at Wentworth Park. Has a good record here at this journey. Can do much better this time. KICKER ZOOM (8) goes very well this trip starting 12 times for four wins and two minors. Scored by 4 lengths last time (22.97) in a Grade 5 over 400m at The Gardens. Suited here and expected to run well. JILLIBY EATON (1) will run well despite no experience on this track.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (30.54) over 520m at Wanganui. Nicely drawn on the inside and capable of a better result.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (22.71) over 400m at this track. Drawn close to the inside. Solid top-three prospects.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 2.5 lengths second (22.32) over 388m at Gosford. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card at the latest appearance. Worth following up.

Has been in the money the last two runs. Finished third at this track in 22.43 last time but the start prior clocked an excellent 19.09 over 340m when just missed, at Bulli. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Richmond Straight over 324m in 17.48. Followed that up with a minor placing over 400m at this track at Grade 5 a week ago. Prepared to risk this time.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 7th on September 19 over 520m at Wentworth Park behind Bandit Alex beaten 17 lengths (30.66) in a Grade 5. Placed two back at this track. Fought on last time. Has the ability and right in the mix.

Good performance to post a big 4 lengths win at The Gardens over 400m (22.97) beating Coco Bella in Grade 5 on September 18. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
