    Race Analysis

    MAVERICK QUEEN (4) knuckled down strongly to get within 0. 7 lengths of the winner in second last start over 6f at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best form puts her right in this. PLAY WITH THE WIND (10) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when fourth over 6f at this track, beaten 2. 25 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. WAITING ON CHARLIE (12) hasn't been far away lately, last time finishing fourth over 5f at this track, and gets some weight relief. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be competitive. CAPTAIN SELVIE (7) hasn't made an impression since resuming despite market confidence. Last start could only manage fifth over 6f at this track. Can improve and is worth including.
