Maitland Race 6 - Newcastle Gbota Branch Christmas Gift Heat 3 H
DRINK TWISTIES (2) started long odds but took maiden two back then finished a 9 length seventh last start at this track over 400m (23.04). Boxed well here. Better than last run and makes appeal this time. HUMBLE TIGRESS (3) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw and went on to finish second (19.37) at Bulli in a Grade 5 over 340m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Can measure up. HARADA'S LASS (1) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten a neck (23.15) behind Bun Tornado at this track. Good beginner assisted by the inside draw. Expected to feature again. INVITATIONS ONLY (5) has strong credentials over this journey.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (19.37) at Bulli over 340m. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.

Last start finished sixth over 400m at this track, beaten 9 lengths (23.81) behind Bun Tornado in a Grade 5 on November 30. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Has finished fifth at her last couple of starts, most recently at Goulburn over 440m. Racing well and has to be included.

Was a little disappointing last start, fading in the run home at this track over 400m. The start prior was at his best with a 4 length win over 400m at The Gardens. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 400m at The Gardens. Happy to risk this time.
