GOING: G(4)

TERRARA HOUSE MAIDEN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 29)   Rail: True.  

Moderate pace only with Knights Reign leading Via Varallo. MAGENTA SHORES (5) has run on well in both starts to date at Hawkesbury over 1300m so back to country grade she should be harder to hold out. MILLIE DE LUNE (8) is back for her second preparation with two trials under the belt and a soft draw. One to keep an eye on. VIA VARALLO (11) is racing well without winning and gets another chance here. KNIGHTS REIGN (3) and EGYPTIAN STAR (4) are worth considering. SUGGESTED PLAY: Magenta Shores to win.
