#1 Shadyvale AlJ: Ivo Fry

Shadyvale Al, despite being a maiden, has shown a placing and consistent efforts in slightly stronger fields. The inside barrier draw over 1207m is a significant advantage, and with an in-form jockey, this looks like his best chance to break through.

AI Race Summary

This Maiden Handicap for 2&3YO QTIS horses over 1207m presents a challenging puzzle with all runners yet to break their maiden. The race lacks a standout performer, suggesting it could be won by a horse showing even slight improvement or benefiting from a favourable run. Given the nature of maidens, a well-ridden race and a touch of luck will be crucial.

Jockey:Courtney Bellamy

Oscar Booie has had a few starts and shown glimpses of ability without breaking through. The wide barrier is a concern over 1207m, but if Courtney Bellamy can find cover, he could be competitive in this open maiden.

Jockey:Chelsea Jokic

Trainer:Chelsea Jokic

Fighting Edge has had many chances and is yet to win, but has placed three times, indicating some ability to run on. The self-trained/ridden combination can sometimes produce a surprise, and in a race devoid of stars, a strong finish could see her in the placings.

Jockey:Lacey Morrison

Trainer:Graham Hughes

Jot Girl is lightly raced with limited form to date, but the booking of Lacey Morrison is a positive. With only three career starts, there's scope for improvement, and she could surprise if she's matured since her last run.
