Race preview

Gawler hosts the Lj Hooker Property Specialists Maiden Plate over 1706 metres on a Good 4 track in overcast conditions at 2:26 pm AEDT. This is a competitive three-year-old and up maiden, and the win market tells the story: Nunya sits shortest, ahead of Mizzen Jib, Ateyate, and Mohatu. It's a tight spread across the top four, which signals a genuine contest with plenty of angles to play.

Nunya rates a real chance at the head of the market. The four-year-old has tasted minor placings at Murray Bridge and Halidon, running down narrowly on both occasions, and the numbers say he goes hard early — sectionals back that profile. Aaron Bain and Ned Taylor's runner has been lightly raced but shown real potential, and the comment flags this as within his reach. Mizzen Jib, trained by Sarah Rutten and ridden by Caitlin Jones, sits next. The mare was second at Gawler second-up over 1500 metres and finished fastest late, and Caitlin Jones is outperforming her career average by 10% in recent rides. The added journey suits her profile. Ateyate has form that warrants attention according to the report — a distant third at Murray Bridge in similar conditions — but the trainer's recent strike rate is struggling at just 9%, and the jockey-trainer combo has lost 21 per cent of proven odds across their last 100 races. That's a headwind.

Mohatu shapes as the value angle. His jockey-trainer pairing with Jason Holder and Peter & Belinda Blanch are outperforming market expectations by 56 per cent, a genuine hot combo. The five-year-old has raced in the back half without landing a blow, so this step up in trip and the Holder connection might unlock something. In the speedMap, Nunya leads from the front, while Ateyate and Mohatu sit offpace and will need to muster a late run. The form and the stats favour a genuine contender, and Nunya's proven ability to run tight margins makes him the logical pick, but Mizzen Jib's finishing sectionals and upward trajectory offer real appeal as an alternative.

AAP

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.

RP

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.

RP

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.

Comments

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.

RP

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.

RP

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.

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

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.

RP

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.

AAP

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.

RP

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 . Odds can change.
