GOING: S(6)

ALL ASPECT SPRAYING Maiden Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 29)   Rail: +12m Entire.  

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a keen tempo. The maidens kick us off. The well-related LUCCI (8) (half to G3 winner and G1 placed Outrageous) wasn't too far away here on debut before being tipped out for further time to furnish. Has since revved up for this with a recent trial win and can run a big race while fresh. SAVASTEEL (1) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and won't need to be a superstar to be competitive against this lot. Keep very safe. FORTYSECONDSTREET (7) is a former Victorian having her first run for the new stable and should find this easier than what she faced down south. In the mix. FUNHOUSE (3) next in line with Jones on board from the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 8,1,7,3.
