Verdict

NIVEN (2) has placed three of four around this circuit and looks to be working up to a maiden victory. Ready to peak now third run back from a spell and gets the services of gun hoop Wiggins in the irons. Will prove very hard to toss. BOOM BUNNY (7) was a touch disappointing last time out but the form prior was good enough for a race of this nature. Watch for sharp improvement. Former NSW galloper IT'S SHOWTIME (1) is unlucky to still be a maiden finishing runner-up in both runs since joining the new stable and this is not an overly strong affair. Strong top-three prospects despite the wide draw. WRITTEN JEWEL (5) was well supported at Cairns on debut and wasn't too far away in fifth. Will have taken some benefit from that day at the races and looks one for the exotics players. EMSIES GIRL (6) next best in a race with only a handful of chances.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Trifecta

A wager picking the first, second and third horses in the exact order. A trifecta box means paying more to ensure the horses can finish in any order in the top three spots.

Minus Pool

A pari-mutuel pool – typically a show pool - where one horse is so heavily bet that after deductions there is not enough money left to cover the prescribed minimum on each bet.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.
