GOING: G

Milhinch Hourglass Jewellers Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: Good   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Gingermac is the likely leader at a slick tempo. Not an overly inspiring maiden based on exposed form. BARBADOS NINJA (11) moves to a third stable and lines up for only her third race start. She was very good on debut at Canberra and if she can run up to that performance, she'll be hard to beat in this. She gets in with no weight after the claim and might be able to roll forward form the wide draw. SEA ROADS (2) has been mixing his form but has been OK in his two runs at this track. Back in trip is interesting but he looks one of the main chances. BRIGHT SHOW (7) was placed here last start, albeit a long way from the winner. A top three chance again, while IDRACOWRA (9) and JURA VAUDOIS (10) have figures that can win this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Barbados Ninja each-way if you can get a price.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Strasbourg out of Caffeine Hit. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1050m at Balaklava April 18 2024. Suspect he can run a cheeky race on debut.
