GOING: S(6)

JACQUINOT FIRST YEARLINGS 2026 @ WIDDEN PLATE 1100m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: +6m Entire. (Pent: 5.54)  

Not a great deal of pressure likely in the small field, with Rajwa a potential leader. A pretty thin maiden by Metro standards. RAJWA (8) met with interference on a couple of occasions so her effort to be beaten just 1.1 lengths on debut over 1200m at Wyong was better than it looks. Has trialled twice leading into this first run for five months. Better than these based on the limited form to go on. ASSUMED (4) is an I Am Invincible first starter from the Waller stable. She is the first foal of Just Fabulous who was a stakes winner. The latest trial was an improvement so expect her to perform well. ZOUSARI (2) closed well but found the winner far too good when resuming on a soft track over 1000m at Kembla recently. Can feature over this slightly longer trip with the run under the belt. AVON CALLING (5) has raced just once and was down the track at Warwick Farm last May. Recent trial winner who can improve this time in work. MILK FOAM (6) resumes. Dogged by heavy tracks through the maiden prep but did improve with racing. Not out of contention. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen to be with Rajwa.
