GOING: G(4)

DRINKWISE PLATE 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.95).  

Moderate tempo headed by Colophon. CANARA (8) resumed over 1200m at Warwick Farm a fortnight ago when she produced a real eye catcher, coming from last on the bend to finish sixth. Ran a couple of nice races at stakes level at the end of last prep. The one to beat out to this more suitable journey. POLYMNIA (11) turned in a similar performance to Canara in the same race at the Farm last start, just edging today's rival out of fifth spot after coming from near the tail. Another who should relish stepping up to seven furlongs. ELLA HAZEL (9) was friendless in betting on debut at Canterbury recently but did a good job to be beaten just 2.7 lengths over 1250m. Worth plenty of thought over more ground in a bigger track. HORIZONS (10) flashed home to just miss when resuming over 1250m at Newcastle last time. Harder here but shows promise and cannot be underestimated. COLOPHON (5) narrowly missed first-up at Kembla and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: This looks the right race for Canara.
