Maitland Race 3 - Windsor Castle Hotel 0-1 Win
WATCH THIS (3) was a speedy 22.44 winner of a Maiden at this track last start. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. ZIPPING ZVEREV (6) has been out of the placings at his last couple but on the winners' heels when placing three back (22.79) in a Grade 5 at this track. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. ARCHIE THOMAS (1) turned in a moderate run last time when fifth at Sandown over 515m behind Blowing Trumpets (30.58) in a Maiden. Placed at his previous run. Solid formlines coming through his last run. In the mix. HOT TO STOP (7) is likely to have admirers.

Yet to break through after six starts, the most recent result a fifth (30.58) over 515m at Sandown. Best form too good to ignore.

Lines up from box 2 for the first time after finishing a 4 length fourth at Taree Super Track (17.69) in a Grade 5. Will need some luck to feature.

Impressive performance on debut, tracking the speed and going on to score by a half a length in a Maiden last start at this track, clocking a slick 22.44 over the 400m trip. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time.

Last start finished last over 515m at The Gardens beaten 12 lengths (30.85) behind Shining Reign in a Grade 5 on September 11. Has performed below expectations at his last couple but is capable of far better.

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recent effort finished 7th over 400m at The Gardens beaten 8 lengths (23.84) behind Canya Scandal in a Grade 5 on September 11. Capable of taking this out.

Backs up after finishing a well beaten last on September 8 over 388m at Gosford in a Grade 5. Hard to envisage a win.
