Aurelius Maximus¹⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P J McDonald| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 52

7/2

Little show in minor event/maidens on all-weather over the winter. May prove a different proposition now handicapping switched to turf over 1¼m.

Forecasts

Hawkesbury Legend (13/8), Spirit Of Murray (11/4), Salaria (3/1), Aurelius Maximus (7/2), Cuda Been A Rowlex (6/1), Precious Spartan (8/1), Bear Baby (16/1), Magic Topissima (20/1), Hickton (20/1), Owt For Nowt (28/1), Call Me Audrey (40/1)

Plenty of these arrive on the back of below-par efforts but HAWKESBURY LEGEND took a step forward having been gelded when runner-up to a penalised winner at Wolverhampton recently, so he gets the nod to go one better. The chief threat may emerge from Salaria, who needs to leave a lesser effort behind but was second on her penultimate outing. Spirit of Murray and Precious Spartan are another couple to consider.
