Maitland Race 4 - Windsor Castle Hotel

SPEEDY ZIPPER (7) boasts a strong record this journey with five wins and three minors from 11 tries. Placed last time (35.04) at Gosford in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best. MR. NICKO (1) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by a nose at this track in a handy 32.10. Nicely placed here on the inside and has a good record over this journey. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Expected to feature again. FLAT OUT FREDDY (4) is having his first start around this track. In the money last start when second (29.81) at Gosford over 515m. Has never missed the frame from four starts from this draw, including two wins. Must be included in calculations. BACKYARD FRIENDS (8) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a nose over 565m at this track in a handy 32.10, beating Zipping Desire. Well suited by the draw. Hard to go past again.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 565m at this track. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Missed the frame last start when fourth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Has ability and worth including.
