Maitland Race 9 - Ontrack Insider
NITRO ON FIRE (4) is progressing well with another good run, placing by 7 lengths (22.69) in a Grade 5 at this track. Form from his last run is proving very strong. Must come into calculations. RADIANT ETHICS (1) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 7th at Taree Super Track following on from a third place finish (29.55) at Gosford the start prior. The form out of her last race has been franked. Can measure up this time. BACKYARD FRIENDS (7) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Not Clifford (22.73) in a Grade 5. Turned chasing the leaders but kept coming. Leading player again. PURE MOUSE (2) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Missed the frame last start when seventh but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Looks a leading contender on best and expected to bounce back.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (22.78) over 400m at this track. Aided by a low draw but needs to bounce back.

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 3.5 lengths sixth (22.93) over 400m at this track. Hard to recommend this time.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 7 length third over 400m at this track, clocking 22.69. Racing well and can find winning form again.

Strong performance to win by 3 lengths at Richmond Straight over 324m (17.48) beating Charlie Up Above in Maiden on September 3. Prefer in something easier.

Produced a good run, hitting the frame last run (22.73) at this track in a Grade 5. Has first look at box 7 this time. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
