Verdict

The big maiden and hinges on some first starters to the area. CLIODHNA MAEVE (8) is a former south-east Qld galloper having its first start for the new yard. Comes off a fourth on the Sunny Coast latest. Has good figures for this level and expected to go close. Same goes for ZOUSTRONG (4) who is a former NSW galloper also making debut for a new barn. Has ability and should run well. DAY TO REMEMBER (1) resumes from a long break. Placed 2/2 fresh and expected to make a bright return. FORTUNAS GIRL (9) is another having first run for new yard and has claims despite the wide draw. TAKE A BREAK (3) is yet another former NSW galloper with a new team and is worth including fresh.
