Maitland Race 5 - Shipley Meats Pathways

MAJOR FORTE (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (23.12) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. Rates on top in this line up. MELTING MOMENTS (6) sprung the lids and led throughout to score by 3.5 lengths (18.64) at Dubbo in Grade 5. Is yet to find the frame here from three. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. HEART DESIRES (1) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fifth (23.91) in a Grade 5 at The Gardens. Cannot be taken lightly. MY CAPE ESCAPE (8) cannot be dismissed although new to this venue.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 3.5 lengths over 318m at Dubbo in a handy 18.64, beating Bronte Beach. Can make it back to back wins.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in her races. Last start finished fifth over 400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Country racer who only starts fairly, coming off mixed results. Was 4th last start over 324m at Richmond Straight (17.82) beaten 2.5 lengths, behind Anjo Statue in Grade 5 on July 9. Will have to be at his best; last run is a strong form reference. Worth following up.
