I'm Savvy As

Barrier 7 · 130kg · Form: —

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER2:0-0

Jockey:Lachlan Neindorf

Trainer:Reece Goodwin

With only two career starts, I'm Savvy As is still lightly raced and has scope for improvement. The booking of Lachlan Neindorf is a positive, and if the horse has matured, a better performance could be on the cards in this weak maiden.

CAREER1:0-0

Jockey:Teo Nugent

Trainer:Rob Blacker

Pipoli Diva has only had one start, finishing unplaced, but the connections suggest there might be more to come. While a significant improvement is needed, the horse is a complete unknown quantity with potential for a surprise if the debut run was just a learning experience.

CAREER6:0-0

Jockey:Valentin Le Boeuf

Trainer:Ricardo Meunier

Gottaluvsport has had six starts without a placing and shows limited form. While the inside barrier is a plus, the horse needs to find significant improvement to be competitive against even this field of maidens, making it a risky proposition.

CAREER9:0-0

Jockey:Ben Kennedy

Trainer:Libby Haworth

Saker Falcon has the most starts without a placing in the field, indicating a lack of competitive ability so far. Despite a fair barrier, the horse's form suggests it will struggle to make an impact in this race, even against other maidens.
