4:45am - BOWERMANS OFFICE FURNITURE HANDICAP | 1400m | | i

More 3YO Maidens. Early speed from AUSFIGHTER, JEWEL OF THE CROWN, CHECKSUM and HAUT BRION HER just near them (tempo: FAIR). HAUT BRION HER was up near a strong tempo in a decent maiden race on debut and looks set up for a very strong performance up to 1400m this time. At the weights BATTLE PLAN is a legitimate threat, the risk for him is stepping back in distance over a sharp 1400m, he may get out-sprinted on the turn. JEWEL OF THE CROWN has been winning trials and is worth a look in the yard and market. COLDITZ OK in his trial too (quiet in 4th). TASK AND PURPOSE and CHECKSUM both each-way chances after some solid runs. NATANYA was well-backed for 2nd last start, but the form out of that race is weaker. [FORM GUIDE only] [updated 9:21am] Colditz: Lugging Bit FIRST TIME.
