GOING: H(8)

TAB Maiden Handicap 1350m

Track: HVY8   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 4m Entire. (Pent: 5.9).  

Should be a good battle early on with Pickaxe, Bring Me Saki and Majestic Teako leading the charge. PICKAXE (1) has placed two from three over this journey, draws the inside alley and gets 1.5kg off with the claim. Ticks plenty of boxes. MAJESTIC TEAKO (7) was a touch flat last time out but go on the solid second at Toowoomba two back. Worth another chance. MISS PALLADIUM (12) wasn't disgraced in town at the latest effort and hails from an astute barn. Top-three commodity. BRING ME SAKI (2) has placed in both efforts this preparation and rates a genuine contender on that form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pickaxe to salute.
