GOING: G(4)

NZB MEGA MAIDEN SERIES 1600m

Track: GOOD 4     True  

Small field but a good tempo is expected with Delmarva, Daring Dame and Richard Farrell pressing on. DARING DAME (9) she has not run a poor race and can handle it dry and wet too. Has been course placed before. Win chance in this. THE CHARM (3) has run well in all his starts this time in. Dry tracker so far. Top tier must if the footing is not too tricky. RICHARD FARRELL (2) has not gone a bad race so far. Good run fresh up. Quinella and trifecta must. RADRADRA (1) has been six times placed so knows how to weigh in on dry and wet footing. Yet to place clockwise but that can change having drawn the ace. FULL OF COURAGE (5) rain-affected footing suits him best. Third or fourth money at best here after so many scratchings. SUGGESTED PLAY: Daring Dame is a win wager. Box the quinella as a saver of it, The Charm and Richard Farrell.
