GOING: G

Sealink Maiden Handicap 1050m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

Hedged Your Bets is the probable leader in the small field. PUB CRAWL (1) has just missed in his two runs back but looks set to finally shed his maiden tag now. Is drawn to advantage and gets in well with the claim. It's now or never. BOOLCUNDA DAWN (3) returns and has been readied with two strong hitouts. Was an eye-catcher on debut on the Parks back in September 2025, and looks to have come on a treat during the break. Looks the obvious danger. HEDGED YOUR BETS (7) finds it hard to get off the mark but has efforts littered through his form that can be competitive this time. Draws well and can be kept safe in minors. SECOND HEAVEN (4) can improve sharply with the blinkers going on first time and the claim also helps. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pub Crawl to win.
