Maitland Race 6 - Ladbrokes Thunderbolt Heat F
FEDERAL SNIPER (1) was well fancied last time and led throughout to score (19.86) at Grafton in a Grade 3/4 over 350m. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. In sparkling form and looks the one to beat again. HOTSHOT LILY (8) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 3.5 lengths (22.12) at this track. Solid beginner and with a good start should have clear running out wide. Capable of going close again. FEDERAL SENOR (5) is a progressive type who recorded his 9th career win last time out (22.41) at The Gardens. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Hard to fault recent form and looks a key chance again. JUNIPER ROSE (7) is in the mix following a brief let-up.

Has been in tremendous form, putting three wins back-to-back. Had plenty of support last start when he won comfortably by 5.5 lengths at The Gardens (22.41) beating Barramundi Lou in a Grade 3/4 on May 23. In hot form and can take this out.

Impressive performance leading throughout to post a big 3.5 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking a dazzling 22.12 over the 400m trip. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.
