DAVALI THOROUGHBREDS MAIDEN PLATE
AI Selections & Analysis (8 runners)
Sarapo has the highest career earnings and has placed once, including a recent 3rd. With Jason Collett aboard for Chris Waller from a good barrier, this horse looks to be the most likely winner in this maiden field, stepping up to a suitable distance.
Cavalry boasts an impressive 75% place rate from only four starts and comes off a strong 2nd last outing. The inside barrier and Schiller riding for the Hawkes stable make him a strong contender, though he's yet to prove himself at this distance.
Scoop The Pool has shown glimpses of ability with a 50% place rate and recent 2nd and 3rd placings. Dylan Gibbons is a good booking, and he should be competitive from barrier 5, though consistency is still a question mark.

Lilac Girl showed some promise with a 2nd placing two starts back, but her overall form is patchy. While from a top stable, her wide barrier and inconsistent performances make her more of an each-way chance at best.
Edorado has had seven starts without placing and generally finishes well back in the field. While the barrier is good, his form suggests he's not quite up to winning this maiden, making him a roughie.
Valiant Dreamer has had only three starts with no placings and has finished well down the track. The wide barrier and lack of competitive form make him a long shot in this field.
Dubliners has shown no competitive form in four career starts, with a best finish of 4th and two unplaced runs. His low career earnings and 0% place rate indicate he has very little chance here.
