TRUEMAN & CO MAIDEN 1400m Track: SOFT 5 Out 3.5m |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Looks a decent tempo with Dare You, Classic Grace and The Symbol leading the charge. This maiden over 1400m, continues with the theme of huge fields with many each-way chances. MISISSIPI GAMBLER (8) has talent and he resumes from a spell that would have done him the world of good. A recent quiet trial will ensure that he is set to return in good condition. Hard to beat. DESERT JEWEL (10) fought on well after racing handy to the pace on debut at Matamata just over 2 weeks ago. She cops a tougher gate this time, but the extra 200m will help, and she can figure in the top 4 here. CAPRESE (11) did not do much fresh up, and she draws wide here second up. The blinkers are on, and Sam Collett keeps the faith. Include in all combos to be safe. FORESTER (1) is heading the right way with his form, and with the aid of a 2kg claim, he should be very competitive again. WEDDING BELLE (14) resumes from just over a year away from the races. Use the market as the best guide. SUGGESTED PLAY: Misissipi Gambler can win this.
