Normie No Show to take charge ahead of Cracken Good Time at a strong tempo. There are average maidens, then there is this race. On paper, the form of most of htese is modest at best but connections of one of these horses will be celebrating. There's a goood chance it will be CRACKEN GOOD TIME (1) who is a 17-start maiden. Most of is better form has been in recent starts in stronger races at Murray Bridge and Gawler. If he handles the dirt, he will go very close. A good draw and Fawke on are positives. DARK HELMET (6) is another long time maiden that has had plenty of chances. He can have one more here in a modest race. TUFF OPERATOR (5) is placed seven of 26 so there is ability there. If he can hold a spot from the inside gate, he can run a cheeky race with no weight. Including OLD MATE BLUEY (3) and NORMIE NO SHOW (2) in wider plays. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Cracken Good Time to win.
