WELLINGTON & REEVES REAL ESTATE SINCE 48 MAIDEN ($17K)
AI Selections & Analysis (9 runners)
Despite being a maiden, this horse boasts a 50% place rate from only 6 starts, indicating genuine ability. With top jockey Shaun McGruddy aboard for Steve Wolfe, it's the clear standout in a weak maiden field.
This runner has shown a glimpse of ability with one placing from 12 starts and draws a favourable barrier 5. While not as strong as the top pick, it has more experience than many and could improve.
With the most career starts (36) and two placings, Crombie has shown some minor ability in the past. The wide barrier is a concern, but the experience could be a factor in a maiden race.
While its career earnings are low, the booking of experienced jockey Jason Whiting for Ashley Maley from barrier 1 suggests some intent. This horse could be ready to show improvement at this distance.
This horse has only had one career start, making it difficult to assess, but the trainer/jockey combination of Brandon and Lucy Fiore can sometimes produce an upset. It's a roughie based on potential improvement.
With 9 starts and no placings, its form is poor, but barrier 2 and jockey Tash Faithfull offer some small hope. It would need significant improvement to contend.
Nine starts for no placings is a worrying sign, but the inside draw and experienced jockey Holly Watson might see some improvement. It's tough to back with confidence given its career record.
This horse has shown no competitive form in 9 starts, and the wide barrier makes its task even harder. It's difficult to see it featuring in the finish.
With only three starts and zero prizemoney, this horse is a complete unknown and has shown nothing to suggest it's ready to win. It's a rank outsider in this field.
