Maitland Race 8 - Newcastle Gbota Branch Christmas Gift Final F

RUBY BLINDER (1) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 2.25 lengths at this track in a handy 22.37 beating WINLOCK RUPEE. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Looks the testing material. ICEBERG AHEAD (7) got around 400m in a useful 22.46 when winning a Grade 5 at this track last start. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. DRINK TWISTIES (6) scored by 1.5 lengths last time (22.61) in a Grade 5 over 400m at this track. Looks well placed here and among the chances. INVITATIONS ONLY (3) warrants respect following a recent placing.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 400m at this track clocking 22.77. Looks a solid hope.
