Holder Maid should lead at a strong tempo. Tricky. SEE YA LATER BABY (9) didn't have the best of it at Gawler and was disqualified when heavily bet at Clare prior. His form leading into those in stronger races stacks up for this, and he's on a quick backup. Has to manage a wide gate, but is a decent chance if that's achieved economically. MAGIC PRINCESS (11) has been racing in better grade and had been around the mark before racing keen on pace at The Parks and folding up (vet cleared). Has the rail and has been freshened 41 days. She can feature if she's presented on song. HOLDER MAID (2) just missed in a CL2 at Balaklava and then led and was much too good for the 62 graders at Port Augusta over this distance. Maps for a soft on-pace run and has a handy 1.5kg claim. She can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to See Ya Later Baby.
