Maitland Race 2 - East Maitland Bowling Club 0-1 Win
GANGSTER GORT (8) should get a clear run from the wide draw. Safely held last start when a 7 length 6th at this track (25.84). Goes very well at course and distance boasting one wins. Safe beginner but wide box to overcome and will need some luck. Tough to beat if on-song. WILDFIRE PANDA (2) placed on debut then improved with a neck win (29.71) at Gosford over 515m. Nicely drawn here. Must include in calculations. ZIPPING LAINEY (7) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fifth (29.96) in a Grade 5 at Gosford. Leading chance. HOT TO STOP (4) is a surprise last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.

Yet to break through in 21 starts but has run a number of minor placings. Not showing a great deal of early speed. Likely to struggle this time.

Good performance after racing just off the speed to win by a neck at Gosford over 515m (29.71) beating Shadow Assassin in Mix on July 28. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Latest effort finished 6th over 450m at this track beaten 7 lengths (25.84) behind Shadow Assassin in a Grade 5 on August 10. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
