Maitland Race 4 - Windsor Castle Hotel 1-3 Win
BORROWED TIMES (1) finished fifth last time at this track but could not have been more impressive before that in his lightning 21.89 win at Gosford over 388m. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times. TOP BIN NISMO (5) continues to race well, filling the minors at the last four starts, the latest at Gosford in 29.68. Tends to go well on this box draw. Super consistent and can feature with the right run. ARCHIE THOMAS (4) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 1.75 lengths win at this track in a handy 22.88. Has a tricky draw to overcome but likes the trip. Got the money at his only try from this box. Can measure up again. HOT TO STOP (7) can fill a top-three spot.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Gosford over 388m. Last start finished 5th on September 21 over 400m at this track behind Stereophonic beaten 11 lengths (23.18) in a Grade 5. Should be right in the finish.

Solid performance to win by 1.75 lengths at this track over 400m (22.88) beating Under A Spell in Maiden on September 21. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Racing well without winning, recording four minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (29.68) over 515m at Gosford. Overdue and expected to feature again.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th on September 25 over 400m at The Gardens behind Dakila beaten 6 lengths (23.34) in a Grade 5. Placed two back at this track. Is a danger.

Hit the frame latest (25.72) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Others appear better placed.
