GOING: S(5)

Wilpak Wholesale Meats Hcp-C1 1400m

Track: SOFT 6   Mostly Clear   Rail: True Entire Course. (Pent: 6.34).  

Drums Jewel and Treasure Gallery look the most likely to push forward and set the tempo. DOWNLOADING can use the rail gate and is knocking on the door for the Heathcote yard. Is back from stronger city races and Browne is a notable jockey booking. He gets off BOLD HEART who was a big Maiden winner here FU. Had strong support and the stable is firing. SONADOR FIRE has improved both runs this campaign and still has more up the sleeve. ELUSIVE AFFAIR and DRUMS JEWEL are also in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Expect Downloading to prove too good for these, play him straight out.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign bled first time - three month ban; 4th of 12 starters at this track 2yo Hcp in Jul over 1200m, 4-1/2 len behind Chung Wah Spirit with 54kg. Previous preparation first-up won by 1-1/4 len (jumped awkwardly) Gold Coast 2yo Mdn in Jun over 1200m slow track defeating Captain's Pick carrying 55kg. Has been thereabouts in past efforts, but needs to have made sharp improvement.
