Winner7. Flying BrantSP $3.30
★ Top pickWon
7Flying Brant
Flying Brant's debut effort was highly encouraging, finishing a close second at this exact track and distance. The 3yo gelding by Flying Artie showed natural ability and should benefit from that experience. His perfect record here and the minimum weight of 57kg are significant advantages in a competitive maiden.
2nd pick8th
13Mahaler
Mahaler has shown consistent ability with two seconds from two starts, including a recent effort at Kingscote over 1360m. The 3yo Al Maher filly gets significant weight relief at 55kg and should appreciate the step up to 1400m. Her consistent form pattern suggests she's ready to break through.
3rd pickScratched
8Glouf
The Will Clarken/Kayla Crowther combination is potent with a 20% strike rate. As a lightly-raced 3yo by Shamus Award, he should relish the step up to 1400m. Despite the wide draw, his class edge over this maiden field makes him the standout.
