CARLTON DRAUGHT MAIDEN HANDICAP 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Always plenty of early pressure in sprint races such as this with a large contingent of first starters. FLOODGATES (7) finds her best draw to date and has tried hard in both provincial efforts. Lots in her favour third up. PIPPIE BEACH (8) motored to the line late in a stylish debut and the added trip looks ideal. Promising type worth following. ARTIFACTX (1) is on the improve and peaks at a longer trip after three runs in. Expected to be in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Floodgates win.
