METROLL MAIDEN HANDICAP 1410m Track: SOFT 5 Clear (Max: 18) Rail: Out 2.5m 950m-300m. Out 1.5m 300m-W/Post, True Remainder. |

---|---|---|---|---|
The pace looks moderate in the absence of on-pace runners. CLUBHOUSE (5) is racing well but remains without a win after 11 appearances. Made up good ground to finish third last start over 1350m at Doomben. Finds an easier maiden today and drops 2.5kgs. Perfectly placed to break through. MISSAYTER (11) returns from a 20-week spell for a new stable. Has an awful top-three strike rate but was contesting tougher maidens last prep. Gets a few gear changes and is worth some thought. DELIBES (6) showed pace but couldn't finish off over 1300m on a heavy track at Beaudesert recently. Worth another chance from a good gate in this modest affair. BRETSAL (1) worked through the line impressively to grab third on debut last start over 1250m at Taree. Has plenty of upside and poses a serious threat. ZEPHYRZ ZOOM (14) has disappointed of late but a big win in a recent trial suggests she can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Confident Clubhouse can break through today.
