GOING: S(5)

NZB MEGA MAIDEN SERIES 1400m

Track: SOFT     Out 9m  

There is pace and pressure forecast in this Maiden event over 1400m. MODELO (5) is an obvious improver here after a decent debut effort for fourth. Ace draw. Each-way all day. SANTARELLI (7) has gone good runs in both of her starts so far. Top tier here no matter the footing on offer today. VENDABELLE (12) was okay in her first preparation overall. Not too bad a trial earlier this month either. Chance here and the tote quote will be very intriguing. MOSCHINO (10) she has run well in all of her starts bar a G2 miss. Can handle the wide draw and all here. Definite chance in this field for all of your combinations. BRADLEY (4) is a multiple class dropper on his last start miss at G3. Wide draw. Include him everywhere you can. SUGGESTED PLAY: Santarelli is a win wager.
