There looks to be reasonable pace and pressure in this big Maiden field over 1400m. LET IT RIDE (1) has been placed in both runs here. Wide draw but still the one to beat in this line up no matter what the footing is posted. AUSSIE BETTY (9) is an obvious improver on a super debut effort. Can pay a dividend today for sure. BOSUN (10) was poor fresh up on a dry track. Placed at debut on Slow ground. Wet tracker. First race left-handed. Has to be a chance. TRUMP CARD (3) he has been placed twice. Wide gate. Good chance and same yard as the top weight. CARTER RUSSELL (2) has been four times placed including once here. Has been placed second up. Wide gate but still an include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Let It Ride and Trump Card are win wagers.
