Maitland Race 6

Ladbrokes Blackbook 1-3 Win

Stake: $3,421

SLICK BADGER (3) has a strong winning strike-rate this journey having won three of four starts. Scored by 6 lengths last time (24.88) in a Grade 5 over 450m at this track. Looks the one to beat with even luck. PROBABLY DO (1) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at The Gardens over 515m behind Daisy's Charm (30.97) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. DIRTY DANCING (7) has been going along well and was strongly fancied last time but could only manage second (30.82) at Taree Super Track. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. ALFIE'S PRINCESS (8) is among the chances again if she runs up to the latest effort.

Lines up from box 1 for the first time after finishing a 16 length sixth at The Gardens (30.97) in a Grade 5. Makes strong appeal.

In hot form winning his last three on end, the latest pinging the lids with a fast early split and clocking 24.88 over 450m at this track. Flying lately and can score again.

Got back last start and could only manage eighth but before that won by one length at Bulli (19.41) beating Swan's Spirit in a Grade 5 on December 10. Prepared to risk.
