GOING: G

Davenport Builders Maiden Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Emme's Secret. MR JONES (3) makes his debut for the Stephen Theodore stable after a strong effort at Ararat only 9 days ago. Should sit on the speed from a nice draw and is set to peak third-up. Form this campaign reads well, he'll just need t bring that across the border. EMMOOKI MAGIC (11) finished midfield when leading them up last start. The margin is blown out by the winner bolting in. Her prior efforts suggest she has her hoof on the till and she'll be up front from an inside alley. Can bounce back. ONELOLLY'SENUFF (6) bumped into the same race as Emooki Magic last start and should be better with a run under her belt now. She was 25-1 there, though this isn't a strong race on paper. Can play a major role. EMME'S SECRET (4) couldn't hold on at Murray Bridge and will find this much easier. Has pace and may take catching on the dirt. JETT ROCKIN' (5) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Jones goes on top.
