Maitland Race 6 - J&H Commercial Services 1-3 Win
SHADOW ASSASSIN (1) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this trip which boasts two wins. Recorded a 6 length win (24.87) in a Mix last time at this track. Looks a key chance on best form. URBAN BISCUIT (2) was below best latest but did hit the frame in quick time two back when third (25.41) at this track in a Grade 5. Expected to do much better this time. HOT TO TRACE (7) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 3 lengths at The Gardens in a handy 23.04 beating Huxley's Rocket. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from an outside draw. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. MYTHIC (3) is worth consideration.

Produced a good effort last start to finish fourth over 515m at The Gardens, beaten 2.25 lengths (30.04) behind Midnight Mohawk in a Grade 5 on August 1. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Good performance after racing just off the speed to win by 3 lengths at The Gardens over 400m (23.04) beating Huxley's Rocket in Maiden on August 1. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.
