Maitland Race 4 - Windsor Castle Hotel
RIPPED RACCOON (5) has a strong record this trip with seven wins and two placings from 10 starts. Below best last time at Taree Super Track (17.40) in a NG, finishing a 5 length fourth. Looks well placed and should feature. LAYTON MAGIC (1) was well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional, going on to clock 22.13 in a one length win at this track over 400m. One of the leading chances again. FIREBALL ZED (8) is in consistent form, jumping from this same box when a 1.75 lengths second in a NG at Taree Super Track and making it back to back minors. Has the ability and can measure up. MIA ZIPPER (4) is always a threat when she races at this journey.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 3.5 lengths sixth (22.56) over 388m at Gosford. Solid claims this line-up.
