OUR TIPS
A smaller line-up: but realistic chances for 5 of the 6, based on Maitland form, alone. MY SHEPHERD (8) is the genuine 450m Specialist. Won 6 from 11, at this trip. Last victory was in Sep; that 25.42, in a MDC Qualifier. RACCOON RUBY (7) is 1st-up. Raced erratically in latest Maitland 2nd, in a fast-run 450m. UNO WHISKEY (1) good 400m form, here.

Comment:No Maitland abracadabra from Hudson over this 450m: placed once from 4 attempts. But owns dual 400m victories. They came in July/Aug of 2022, when kicking off.
