Race preview

Welcome to Gawler for the Lj Hooker Property Specialists Gawler and Barossa Maiden Plate over 1706 metres on a good four surface with overcast skies. Looking at how the win market has shaped up for this 3yo+ maiden test, Nunya leads the betting as the shortest runner, closely followed by Mizzen Jib, Ateyate, and Mohatu rounding out the front end of the market before we get to In Private, Majestic Moshe, and Brownnoseday Glory. Punters looking to dissect the yarn here have plenty of interesting form lines to sift through as these maidens battle for their breakthrough win at 2:26 pm AEDT.

The market leader Nunya lines up from barrier four with Jackson Murphy steering for trainers Aaron Bain and Ned Taylor. This lightly raced four-year-old has shown plenty of promise with three minor placings from four starts, including a solid second over 1800m at Murray Bridge where he was run down in the shadows of the post after going hard early from the front. Mizzen Jib sits right behind him in the market from barrier one for trainer Sarah Rutten and Caitlin Jones, coming off a eye-catching second over 1500m right here at Gawler where she got back and cut loose late with the fastest finishing sectionals of the race, suggesting the step up in journey here should suit her down to the ground.

Further down the order, Ateyate starts from barrier six for Stephen Theodore and Connor Murtagh, carrying form that includes a distant third over 1800m at Murray Bridge after keeping on to the line. Meanwhile, Mohatu draws barrier three for the Peter and Belinda Blanch stable with Jason Holder taking the mount, stepping up sharply in trip after racing in the back half at Strathalbyn last time out. With Nunya expected to push forward from the leader's speed group and backmarkers like Mizzen Jib looking to swoop late, it shapes as a fascinating tactical battle on the quick back-up for punters tracking the Gawler opener.

No match but kept on for a distant third in the 3yo+ Mdn Plate at Murray Bridge Gh. Warrants attention.

ILB

On a short back up. Produced an eye catching run when 3rd last time at Murray Bridge. Definitely worth considering.

Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs but yet to open his account after nine starts; wasn't disgraced when third of 11 at Murray Bridge Gh over 1m1f (maiden) last Wednesday.

RSIS

On a short back up. Finished strongly when 3rd beaten by almost 4L last start at Murray Bridge. Represents significant value.

AAP

Finished well down the track in 3yo+ Mdn Plate at Murray Bridge Gh last outing. Noted non winner.

ILB

Backing up quickly. Started at $41.00 and folded up in the straight when 10th last start at Murray Bridge. Likely to settle back in the field. Will be tested in this.

Finished behind three of these rivals over 1m1f at Murray Bridge Gh (maiden) when beaten 19l (tenth of 11) a week ago; winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at 30; is passed over as this is a fairly competitive event.

RSIS

Racing on a quick back up. Started 40/1 and was well beaten when 10th last run at Murray Bridge. Will be giving the leaders a big start.

AAP

Got back, cut loose late to fill the minors this venue when second-up. Added journey should assist. Positive last start and may take another step.

ILB

Kept running on late when 2nd last time at the track and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Can go through the gears. Slight prospect.

Appears to be going forwards; solid effort in defeat to finish runner-up after going off 20-1 over 7½f here (maiden) last month; every chance.

RSIS

Put in a competitive run when placing 2nd beaten by more than 3L last run at this venue and has the ideal stall. Has a great burst of pace late.

Promising Jon Snow 4-year-old. Run down in the shadows at Murray Bridge Gh second-up. Should be prominent. This looks within his reach.

ILB

On a quick turnaround. Couldn't keep the momentum going throughout when 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last run at Murray Bridge and good career start. Should race on the speed. Looks the proverbial good thing.

Minor honours in a maiden a week ago (11-4) at Murray Bridge Gh when ahead of several of these rivals upped to 1m1f.

RSIS

Backing up quickly. Displayed a strong effort throughout the race when 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last start at Murray Bridge and solid career start. Top chance.

Raced in back half and never landed a blow at Strathalbyn second-up. Holder on. Quickly up in trip. Can make the podium.

ILB

Was $9.00 and looked outclassed when 10th last time at Strathalbyn but racing over more ground. Strong contender.

Could not manage better than tenth over 6f at Strathalbyn (maiden) last month; should go well.

RSIS

Was 8/1 and couldn't maintain the pace when 10th last run at Strathalbyn but stepping up in trip.

A long way off them at Strathalbyn on debut at cricket score odds. Much to learn and others carry more punch.

ILB

Started at $101.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 10th last run at Strathalbyn but fitter for debut run. Slim possibilty.

Held tenth of 11 but was making her first appearance (6½f, Strathalbyn) sporting cheekpieces at 100-1 last month; she's an attractive contender.

RSIS

Started 100/1 and gave away some ground when 10th last start at Strathalbyn but having second career run.

Failed to threaten at Murray Bridge Gh when second-up at longer odds. Sharper now, win wouldn't shock.

ILB

On a short turnaround. Was $20.00 and came in 6th last time at Murray Bridge but can find a nice position from the draw. Will need a big effort to win this.

Beaten 8l in sixth at Murray Bridge Gh over 1m1f (maiden) last Wednesday; easy to oppose.

RSIS

Backs up quickly. Odds of 19/1 and ran 6th last start at Murray Bridge but can find a nice position from the draw.

Odds correct as at Thu 5 Nov, 2:30 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
