SHAMROCK JOINERY SUPER 3YO&UP MAIDEN PLATE
AI Selections & Analysis (4 runners)
This runner from the Waterhouse/Bott stable has shown significant promise with two third-place finishes from three starts, indicating it's knocking on the door in maiden company. The rise to 1200m after a spell and a good barrier draw puts it in a prime position to break through.
Despite a long string of placings (6 from 7 starts), this horse has struggled to convert them into a win, suggesting a lack of a killer instinct. However, its consistency and high place percentage make it a strong each-way contender, especially with the benefit of race fitness.
With five career starts and no placings, Miss Peony's form is moderate at best, but her last start sixth suggests some improvement. The wide barrier draw makes her task harder, but she could be an outside chance to sneak into a minor placing if others falter.
Mako has shown very little in its two career starts, finishing well back on both occasions and has no placings or prizemoney of note. While Joseph Pride is a top trainer, this horse would need to improve dramatically to be competitive in this field.
