Maitland Race 2 - East Maitland Bowling Club
MIA ZIPPER (8) was unwanted in betting when starting from the same draw but proved too strong, scoring over 324m at Richmond Straight in a NG in 17.20. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. BEAR'S HEAD (7) is an honest type in the frame at 16 of 34 starts including last time when third (22.54) over 400m at this track. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. MAGIC WYLDE (1) is always a threat when he draws this box. Something for the Multiples: PRINCE VINNIE (4)

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 400m in 22.71. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 400m at this track at Mix 1/2/3 level. Has claims on best form.

Was out of the placings last time at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching three minors in a row. Tends to go fairly well off the draw but looks safely held.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd on August 31 over 400m at this track behind Bombay beaten 5 lengths (22.74) in a Grade 5. Prepared to overlook.

Hit the frame latest (22.54) when third at this track in a NG. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed five times. Key chance and should go close.

Good effort to score just four days ago over 324m at Richmond Straight by 1.5 lengths in a NG. Has a solid record from this draw, including four wins. Expected to go well.
