Port Augusta   07 Jun 2026
 
GOING: G

XXXX Maiden Plate 1498m

Track: Good   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: True.  

A solid tempo on the cards with Lady Nancy taking charge. LITTLE ONE (6) was much better here last start when sent forward, finishing second over the mile. Keeps the 2kg claimer on and should look to go forward again. Can go one better. SWEET KICK (9) is knocking on the door, warming nicely late to grab fourth last start in testing conditions at Gawler. Should find this easier and looks more than capable of getting off the mark this time. SHAMUS IN PONTIVY (12) was prominent at the corner and finished third last start over the mile at Strathalbyn, beaten 2 lengths. This is a more suitable contest and can find winning form. TO CATCH A SPIETH (7) is building nicely and draws well on the quick back-up. Not dismissing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Little One gets the nod.
