Maitland Race 5 - Windsor Castle Hotel Max 1150 Points Dogs Only F
MIGHTY TROJAN (7) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 0.8 lengths at Richmond Straight in a handy 18.03 beating Straight Out. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and four minor placings to his credit. Expected to measure up again. NAN SAID NO (3) broke from a low draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only 0.8 lengths (22.59) behind Cha Cha Ethics at this track. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. Leading chance. WHISKY BENT (4) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 6 length win at Gosford in a handy 22.39. Awkwardly drawn but goes well at this distance. Solid beginner who can clear the tricky draw. One of the leading chances again. MY CAPE ESCAPE (2) collected a minor prize last start over this track and distance - must be considered.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 6 lengths over 388m at Gosford in a handy 22.39, beating Zipping Klimenko. This appears within his reach.

Got back last start and could only manage eighth but before that won comfortably by 6 lengths at this track (22.25) beating Lazy Dynamite in a Maiden on June 15. Prepared to risk this time.

Comes off a (18.03) win last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Mix 3/4 over 324m at Richmond Straight. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from eight starts. Makes strong appeal.

Modest effort last time out when fourth over 400m at The Gardens. Not keen this time.
