SPEIGHT'S SUMMIT ULTRA ON TAP MAIDEN 1200m

Track: AW     True  

The race pace is solid here from barrier rise in this Maiden event over 1200m. NOT STRAIGHT LACED (7) has run well in both runs this time in and is a certain Maiden winner in waiting. Wide draw in this. Senior rider atop today. Looks the victor here whatever way you look at it. DRAKE'S DRUM (1) showed good improvement fresh up when placed for the first time. Ace gate. Can finish in the top three again. ELUSIVE IMPACT (2) close-up fourth on debut here. Can pay a dividend here wide draw and all. His half-sister is Adannaya (6 wins). OUR KIWI GIRL (10) is fresh up here for a new yard. Threat wherever she is lined up. HERE I AM (3) is a twice-placed gelding. Has run well in two of three runs this time in. SUGGESTED PLAY: Not Straight Laced is a win wager.
