PRIVATE DRIVERS ONLINE SUPER MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: +5m 1100m-W/Post, +3m Remainder.  

A strong tempo is assured with the debutants applying pressure to the recognised on-pacers Red Hot Rosie and Spud Gun. MAJESTIC LEGEND (11) opened this prep with a handy third at Hawkesbury, racing up on the speed, before a month's absence and a one-paced sixth at Wyong last start — conceivably a run she needed, and she's shown she's hard to beat on her day. RED HOT ROSIE (1) has raced just the once, way back in February 2025 at Canterbury, and knocked up badly in that run, but a smart recent trial has punters taking notice; she looks forward enough for this easier first-up test and the market should tell the story. HARRY'S HUSSEY (10) arrives for Bjorn Baker off a slick trial win and drops into the ideal inside gate for her debut — watch the betting for confirmation she's the goods. LADY TALEA (3) steps out for her second run back today after resuming from a year off to run fourth at Wyong, and with that experience banked, she strips fitter and looks the type to figure prominently late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Majestic Legend each-way.
