Goulburn Race 8

Ladbrokes Blackbook Heat 4 H

Stake: $2,495

MAESTRO ETHICS (5) carved over from wide out and boxed on strongly to finish 1.75 lengths away in second (19.08) behind Miss Brightside at Temora. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Deserves serious consideration. IN THE SKY (8) turned in a plain run last time when eighth at Wentworth Park over 520m behind Mark To Market (30.57) in a Grade 5. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Cannot be taken lightly. MELLCAT JESS (1) ran below best last time finishing fifth (25.26) over 440m at this track in a Grade 5. Form here at this distance is sound. Good beginner assisted by the inside draw. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. SAINT OMAGH (3) has been a model of consistency and deserves plenty of thought.

Was out of placings last time when fifth (25.26) at this track in a Grade 5. Will jump from box 1 for the first time. Looks a key chance on best form.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (20.49) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length sixth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from six starts. Looks one of the chances.

In the money last time at Temora (19.08) in a Grade 5, finishing a 1.75 lengths second. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Makes strong appeal.

Latest effort finished last over 520m at Wentworth Park beaten 12 lengths (30.57) behind Mark To Market in a Grade 5 on May 17. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to do much better.
