New Plymouth Raceway Race 3 - WAHID MAIDEN 1200
ASHOKA (7) set the pace and was only run down over the final stages at Taupo when second up there nearly 4 weeks ago. Dropping back 100m this time will make all the difference, and if he finds the top, he will again take some pegging back. MERCHANT BANKER (1) has two placings from five runs this campaign. He needs to learn how to settle in the running, and when he does, he can win more than 1 race. Stick with him. KING JAKKAL (8) has not really been suited to the deep tracks of his first couple of starts. As soon as he strikes firmer ground, he will start to show his true worth. Stick with him. MALLEABLE (5) has switched stables after some mixed efforts during his initial prep. He will be stronger now, and any market confidence is worth following in an open contest.

Returned from break held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at this track on September 13 over 990m, on a wet track; 3 len behind Our Time Keeper with 56.5kg at $13.50. Should hold the form and she appeals as one of the hardest to beat.
