LATITUDE LIQUOR SUPER MAIDEN SHOWCASE PLATE 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Off the low draw Reveillon is likely to find the lead at a slick tempo. HEROES'N'VILLAINS (7) ticks a few boxes today third-up. Jumped in trip at his second race start with a fighting fifth over 1400m at Wagga. Hard fit for this and gets map favours. MISS MAVERICK (9) twenty-start Maiden mare with her hoof on the till. Attacked the line strongly with a sound second over 1400m at Mudgee in a Super Maiden. Suitably placed with the fast tempo. Go close. LITLFELA (1) third-up for this and will relish the extra trip. Showed good early dash with the 59kg before she faded to run fourth over 1200m at Mudgee. Claim helps and expected to feature. STRASSMAN (3) placed at this trip and ready to show up at his fourth run back. Found the 1100m too short with a plugging seventh over 1100m at Mudgee. Can race a touch closer and surprise at the good odds. CELEMAN ZOR (5) Almanzor gelding on debut for the Bjorn Baker yard. Fitted with the two trials and not to be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Trifecta 7,9,1,3,5.
