Maitland Race 4 - Newcastle Gbota Branch Christmas Gift Heat 1 H
YOU WIN (1) ran below best last time finishing sixth (23.40) over 400m at The Gardens from Box 4. Has a solid record from this box including three wins and a minor placing. Has ability and can bounce back. MUM SAID ALBERT (2) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (17.79) in a Grade 5 at Taree Super Track. Solid record at the distance winning four races. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Should be thereabouts. ICEBERG AHEAD (4) is worth forgiving last start after finishing seventh (19.22) in a Grade 5 at Richmond over 320m. Has good box speed and can overcome the tricky draw. Likely to be thereabouts. SPENCER FURY (3) has not raced here but still warrants respect.

Last couple of starts have been ordinary but he has solid credentials over this track and distance. Expected to bounce right back. Hard to beat.
