AU1 - Maryborough - Race 1

VAN NOSTRAND (6) faces the starter for the first time. By Majestic Son and hails from the Kylie Sugars stable. Has strong trial form coming into this. Sure to prove tough to beat. NOSTRA NIPOTINA (2) finished sixth last start over 1 ¹/16m at Melton, beaten 35 metres, after a good second at Bendigo the run prior. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Forgive that last effort. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. MINNIE MIA (7) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at Cranbourne over 1 ¼m. IJUSTCANTSEEIT (5) faces the starter for the first time. By Wishing Stone and hails from the P M Morrissey stable. Trial winner who looks above average. Likely to attract plenty of interest from punters.
