Gosford Race 5 - Ontrack Insider Masters
HEY MICKEY (1) is generally an honest type in the frame at 38 of 82 starts but missed the placings last time when fifth (22.83) over 400m at Maitland. Has a good record here at this journey. Rates strongly and will go close from the inside draw. SPARKY KEY (7) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 2.5 lengths at The Gardens in a handy 22.73 beating Heading South. One of the prime contenders. ROAD TO IBROX (5) showed good speed to score (22.97) off a middle draw two back then off a similar box last time settled off pace and could manage only a 4 length 3rd at The Gardens (23.37). Expected to feature again. MAKATI LAD (4) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 1.75 lengths fifth (22.83) over 400m at Maitland. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 388m at this track. Not among the main chances this time.

Last start finished seventh on September 4 over 400m at The Gardens behind Rob You Blind, beaten 6 lengths (23.56) in a Mix 3/4. Is a danger.

Won two starts back at The Gardens over 400m in 22.97. Followed that up with a minor placing over 400m at The Gardens at Mix 3/4 six days ago. Among the chances with the right run.

Eye-catching performance leading throughout to score by 2.5 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at The Gardens, clocking an outstanding 22.73 for the 400m trip. Has the ability and expected to go close again.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 388m at this track. Hard to envisage a win.
