GOING: S

Drummond Golf Plate 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit.  

Audio Pop Cam, Angel Ladder and Ferocious Frankie to take up the running at a decent tempo. AUDIO POP CAM (6) won scintillatingly on the Pakenham synthetic last start and looks to transfer that form to turf in metropolitan grade. If she can make a seamless transition, she's the one to beat and is a good favourite. PETIT ARTISTE (2) has been good in two runs back, running on from the back of the field behind Esha last start, which looks good form for this. If she can take a more prominent position from her barrier, she'll take some beating. FEROCIOUS FRANKIE (5) made a statement on debut, where she was excellent to win against the older horses. She has tuned up well at the jump outs this time in and can measure up to this grade. CHERISH ME (3) was a leading runner in the Blue Diamond but has seemingly not made the age improvement. She is talented nonetheless. MISS CELINE (1) can make the grade this preparation. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Audio Pop Cam.
