Maitland Race 9

Ranvet K-Max Max 150 Points

Stake: $2,541

BEERS AND BANTER (8) was fast away from wide out with an impressive early sectional and went on to clock 22.53 in a 4 length win at Bulli over 400m. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. PROUD CHOICE (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (26.18) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Worth another chance. HARD HEAD RED (1) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 3.5 lengths (18.09) at Richmond Straight. Key player if finds best. SIRIUS CUDDLES (4) can fill a top-three spot.

Was out of placings last time (18.09) at Richmond Straight in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Goes very well off the draw boasting two wins and two places from five starts. Expected to be in the finish.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 1.5 lengths win at this track over 400m in 22.80. Can make it two on the bounce.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a seventh over 400m at this track. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Good effort to score just six days ago over 400m at Bulli by 4 lengths in a Grade 5. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
