Sorry Coops but I agree with the others lol it's a big ask of a young maiden just learning to race properly, it takes about 6 months to get her confidence up to where you want her to, without throwing her in a 'dreamer' race ;-) and having had her for only a short preparation, she wouldn't be ready for such a big step up to 535m in 3 weeks.
If I had a very good maiden that could break 22.60 or 31 secs at Richmond, I would give it a go in a rich maiden event but for anything less than the times run, I would suggest you aim for the country races or at least the lower class TAB tracks.
It can shatter a pup's confidence if thrown into a classy maiden field, you can be sure that these top trainers would have trialed their pups at least 10 times, half in full field trials, before they'd put their pups in a big race.
C'mon Coops, give Morgan an easy maiden win ;-) and Lady will love you all the more for the confidence boost.
xxx lol
