ASAHI SUPER DRY HANDICAP
AI Selections & Analysis (6 runners)
Natoya boasts excellent recent form including a win and multiple placings, coupled with a high career place percentage of 70%. The booking of top jockey Tom Marquand from a favourable barrier 4 further enhances her strong claims in this class.
Despite a couple of unplaced runs, Mornington Pier's form string shows two recent wins and a high career place percentage of 50%. Barrier 2 and Jason Collett are positives, but the recent unplaced efforts suggest a slight inconsistency compared to the top pick.
Oso Spirited is lightly raced with a last-start win, indicating potential for improvement. While the win percentage is modest, being from the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott stable with Rachel King aboard suggests they see ability, despite the wide barrier 8.
Cash Me Louise Day has a respectable career record and a recent second-place finish, showing glimpses of form. However, inconsistency in recent runs and a slightly higher weight could make this a tougher assignment in a competitive field.
Scalextrics has struggled for form recently with several unplaced runs and a low career place percentage of only 35%. While capable on his day, the current form string makes him a risky proposition against this field.
Mighty Myrtle's recent form is concerning, with a string of unplaced efforts and only one placing in the last eight starts. Despite a decent win percentage, the current form suggests she is well out of contention here.
