Kwik Tip Bins Maiden Plate Tips (Race 4)

Sale Favourite - Race 4 No. 7 Afterberna

There were excuses on debut last winter when the Ciaron Maher-trained filly covered ground on a Soft 7 surface before being spelled after that fourth-placed finish at Cranbourne.

A rise in distance is suitable off a solid January 23 resumption when runner-up in what appeared a stronger maiden at Pakenham, which was taken out by a stablemate.

Ethan Brown taking the reins on Wednesday is a positive for the daughter of Cosmic Force.

Brown, a very talented young rider who will head to Hong Kong at the end of April until the conclusion of their season, has been in excellent form over summer.

That recent run includes a winning double at Caulfield last Saturday and Monday.

Sale Next Best Bet - Race 6 No. 5 Hotspur Reale

After a five-length defeat at Geelong in August, connections opted to geld the three-year-old.

He resumed in style when breaking through at Wangaratta on December 22, denying the challenge from Zuppa Inglese, who saluted at her next appearance.

It should have been consecutive victories when attempting a 0-62 at Cranbourne, finishing runner-up after being badly held up at a key stage.

Despite that interference, Hotspur Reale still recorded the fastest last 400m of the program.

That form has since been franked through the winner Tookay Pete, who was runner-up behind a smart Educated before backing up to win a midweek sprint at Sandown last week.

Sale Best Bet - Race 7 No. 2 Houdini

Provided he handles the seven-day turnaround, it looks savvy placement from Gavin Bedggood with Houdini.

The gelding drops in grade third-up from a metro BM66 at Sandown last Wednesday, where he finished third.

That effort came in a leader-dominated race where Houdini was unsuited settling off the speed, yet still produced the race-fastest closing sectionals.

The February 4 performance followed a solid return at Geelong, where the four-year-old worked home strongly late.

Both summer runs suggest he can furnish beyond a mile this preparation, and leading Victorian rider Jamie Mott stays aboard in a very winnable race.
