Port Augusta   26 Apr 2026
 
GOING: G

Milhinch Hourglass Jewellers Maiden Plate 1498m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Foxy Gisella leading the way. JOHNNY THE JET (6) edged out a good win here last time here and should be even better third-up. Needs to learn to put two good runs together but happy to bet that he can this time. IT'S A SOLID DEEL (3) finished third at Port Lincoln two runs back but didn't measure up last time here in behind the top two. Holds claims on best figures and is likely to be doing his best work late. FOXY GISELLA (8) was no match for the winner here last time but did show improvement in her second start. Is open to further improvement and is drawn favourably. Could find a minor spot. NOUVEAU MARCHE (5) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Johnny The Jet to back up the good run.
