CRAIG & TONI THE PINNACLE QTIS TWO-YEAR-OLD MAIDEN PLATE ($21K)
Where Next comes from a stable in red-hot form with 2YO's, and the booking of Ryan Maloney is a significant positive. The inside barrier is ideal for a 1006m maiden, suggesting a forward run and strong debut performance.
SIMMONS BRICKLAYING MAIDEN HANDICAP ($21K)
Namara, despite being a 12-start maiden, has shown the most consistent place form among the field and gets a significant jockey upgrade with Daniel Moor. The inside barrier and Kris Lees' training suggest this is a prime opportunity to break through in a weak maiden race.
AJ CIVIL PROJECTS MAIDEN HANDICAP ($21K)
Ninjask brings the best career place strike rate into this maiden, having placed in 2 of 4 starts. The barrier draw is favourable, and with a top jockey aboard, this looks like a prime opportunity to break through in a relatively weak maiden field.
TURNERS ENGINEERING QTIS THREE-YEAR-OLD BENCHMARK 65 HANDICAP ($19K)
Savaii boasts an impressive win rate and looks to be a horse on the rise, coming off strong performances. The inside barrier is a significant advantage over this distance, and with a top jockey aboard, he is the one to beat.
