CAREER3:0-1

Jockey:Chelsea Jokic

Trainer:Maria Potiris

Super Steven has placed once from three starts, showing some ability early in its career. With a good barrier and a capable jockey aboard, this horse represents good each-way value and could be ready to break through in a weak maiden field.

CAREER17:0-4

Jockey:Ryan Wiggins

Trainer:Steven Royes

Middle Child has had a staggering 17 starts without a win but has placed 4 times, indicating some ability to run on. With a top jockey in Ryan Wiggins and a decent barrier, this horse could be competitive for a minor placing, but a win seems elusive.

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER8:0-1

Jockey:Nathan Thomas

Trainer:Trevor & Peter Rowe

Sheza Barbarossa has had 8 starts for one placing, which is better than some in this field but still not inspiring. The barrier draw is fair, and with a consistent jockey, it might run into a minor placing, but a win looks unlikely.

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER3:0-0

Jockey:Samantha Pointon

Trainer:Alexander Malliff

Monty Road has only had three starts and hasn't shown much, but the trainer has a decent record with maidens. Drawing barrier 5 is acceptable, and with a light weight, some improvement could be seen, though a win is still a big ask.

HIGH RISK

CAREER6:0-0

Jockey:Lacey Morrison

Trainer:Rachel Shred

Any News has shown little in six career starts and draws a wide barrier for this short sprint. While the trainer has a modest strike rate, there's nothing to suggest a breakthrough win here against more experienced maidens.

CAREER18:0-2

Jockey:Wanderson D'avila

Trainer:Margaret A Preston

Webs has had many starts without a win and a low placing percentage, which is a significant concern. The wide barrier draw further complicates its chances in this short race, making it difficult to recommend for a win or even a placing.

HIGH RISK

CAREER9:0-0

Jockey:Aidan Holt

Trainer:Jade Doolan

With nine starts and no placings, Radio Waves is a hard horse to recommend. The inside barrier is a plus for the distance, but consistent poor form suggests this horse is unlikely to trouble the better maidens in the field.

Barrier 8 · 125kg · Form: —

HIGH RISK

CAREER18:0-1

Jockey:Tasha Chambers

Trainer:Troy Clive

Volare has had 18 starts for only one placing, which is a very poor strike rate. Drawing the widest barrier for a 956m sprint makes its task even harder, suggesting it will struggle to make an impact here.
