GOING: S(5)

TAB Maiden Handicap 1300m Track: SOFT 5 Clear (Max: 25) Rail: Out 0.5m Entire.
Without any speed horses lining up it is not expected they will go too hard. MOON OVER MATILDA (4) disappointed last start but threatened the two prior. Has an awkward barrier but 20% course striker Huxtable is booked and this is winnable with average luck. MAGIC GAME (5) is a former Victorian and may have found the track too firm first-up. She has a handy gate and is capable of quick improvement. It's hard to risk the potent Stanley-Taylor linkage. ME TIME (7) peaks and can show more. Wiggins' booking suggests that will be the case and the blinkers are reapplied. NEVA BREEZE (9) made good improvement at Yeppoon and can use the inside barrier. She's likely to keep building. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Moon Over Matilda.
