Narrogin   23 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

VIDLER VETERINARY MAIDEN HANDICAP 1190m

Track: GOOD 3     Rail: True.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Whisky Fever heading them off. ARTIE'S ECLIPSE (7) missed in a photo finish at Narrogin when the odds-on favourite, but ran a strong figure in the process following a disappointing effort at Ascot two back. That level looks strong for a race of this calibre. Needs some luck from the barrier but is the one to beat on recent form. AREDUET (6) led them up over 1100m here last start and just felt the pinch late when on resumption. She'll be fitter for that effort and this looks to shape similarly. Drops in weight now and with the added fitness on her side, she'll take plenty of catching. ACOUSTIC BUBBLES (9) gets the blinkers on for the first time today after never really getting into the race at Ascot most recently. Back to an easier level now which looks to suit and she can bounce back third-up into the campaign. SATIN BOW (8) is knocking on the door of a maiden win and won't be far away in Jason Li's first race ride. I'M A SOULMAN (1) can feature if he runs up to his recent performance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Artie's Eclipse gets the nod.

Wouldn't surprise to see him go one better.
