Maitland Race 3 - Husqvarna

BACKYARD FRIENDS (7) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 6 lengths (29.49) at The Gardens. Can measure up again. MONEY PIT (6) hit the ground running to win over the 400m at this track two runs back then raced on speed again when finishing second at The Gardens last start. Can measure up. HOT TO STOP (2) jumps from box 2 for the first time after placing latest at this track (25.31) in a Grade 5. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. BLUE FABIO (1) looks an each-way chance.
