SAY NO NOW is taken to land this maiden with both Ave and Commendation worth noting. The selection finished second to Moonlife on her debut over course and distance recently. Although it was only a four runner field she did show speed and the ability to race and with further improvement still to come she is sure to go close. Ave will have plently of supporters after showing promise when fourth of thirteen in a Salisbury maiden on her debut. She is likely to improve and therefore she is worth noting in the betting market. Of the newcomers Commendation looks the most interesting on breeding alone. Her connections have a good strike rate in these races so once again any market support should be noted. But for the winner we return to Say No Now.
