Doomben   26 Jun 2024
 
GOING: S(5)

XXXX Maiden Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 6m Entire. (Pent: 5.85).  

Taking Flight should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. ADDITION (6) put together a couple of handy efforts earlier in the year when starting her career and was sent for a spell after a last start third at Eagle Farm. She will be a lot stronger in this prep and from a good draw, she will be hard to hold out. GLOWLIGHT (9) is an experienced maiden mare who is racing her way toward her first win. She ran on late to finish third here a fortnight ago and has Blake Shinn riding here. Can win. STEEL KING (5) won a trial here before finishing third as favourite on this track fresh up a fortnight ago. That was his first start in Queensland after shifting from Victoria and with the blinkers on for the first time, he will be hard to hold out. Follow your money. JUNGLE LAW (10) showed promise at the start of her last prep and will be a lot stronger this time in. She was second in a recent trial and can figure in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Glowlight each-way.
