Maitland Race 9 - Ontrack Insider
BEAR'S HEAD (1) made light work of a wide draw last time with a slick early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing second (22.61) at this track over 400m. Leading chance again. LOCKDOWN (3) boasts a strong record this journey with five wins and four minors from 12 tries. Was out of placings last time (25.46) at Grafton in a NG, finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Among the main chances. TORNADO ETHICS (4) is a well performed dog and winner of 10 races who is worth forgiving after finishing out of the placings at this track (22.62). Has a good record here at this journey. Has a strong record from box 4, including two wins. Cannot be taken lightly. KIARNI BAD GIRL (2) placed last start and is in the mix again.

Jumps from box 1 for the first time after placing latest at this track (22.61) in a Grade 4/5. Should have the speed for this.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (22.62) over 400m at this track. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th on July 15 over 525m at Taree Super Track behind Zipping Schrub beaten 4.5 lengths (30.72) in a Grade 4/5. Placed two back at this track. Is a danger.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 515m at The Gardens. Others make more appeal.
