Maitland Race 9 - Gartelmann Wines Pathways
DESPICABLE MILO (2) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 2nd at Richmond over 320m. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Good form should continue. CHERYL BLUE (8) ran below best last time finishing fifth (22.96) over 400m at this track in a Grade 5. One of the main contenders. REGGAE ETHICS (3) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (23.02) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Solid record at the distance winning seven races. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. Likely to be about the mark. HAPPY ETHICS (7) has strong credentials at this circuit over this journey.

He hasn't been setting the track on fire and faces tougher opposition here. Has failed to show enough to come into contention here.
