Tauranga (NZ) horses tips & previews

Get set for the Nzb Mega Maiden Series Mdn over the 1200m trip at Tauranga, heading to the post at 11:07 am AEDT. Looking at how the win market is shaping up for this clash, Boomstruck leads the way as the shortest runner in the win market order. Sitting right behind in the early betting order are Saja, Not Many If Any, and Lady Margaery, rounding out the top four in the market sequence as we get ready for the jump.

The numbers say there is plenty of interest in the leading chances, though the data pack keeps things close to the chest for this maiden field without heavy form details attached to the top elect. We can look closely at the engagements, such as Craig Grylls jumping aboard Saja from barrier 9 for trainers L O'Sullivan and A Scott, while Boomstruck draws barrier 8 with Tom Wigram booked for Ms J K Mahoney. Not Many If Any holds barrier 13 with Michael Mc Nab steering for M & K Murdoch, and Lady Margaery comes out of barrier 3 with Hayley Hassman riding for the powerful Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson combination.

Digging a bit further down the order, runners like Broadway Diva from barrier 11 with Joe Doyle and Aspiritta out of barrier 14 with George Rooke add plenty of intrigue to the mix. Meanwhile, inside draws like Katestrophic in barrier 1 with Ashlee Strawbridge and The Widowmaker in barrier 2 with Jasmine Fawcett will look to make their own luck early. It is a wide-open maiden contest where checking the final market order closer to the jump rates a real chance of finding value among the runners.
