GOING: S

McCartney Real Estate Maiden Plate 1343m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 8m 1700m - 800m. Out 10m Remainder.  

Drift Net is quick early and one or more of the newcomers may run along. DRIFT NET (8) has threatened all preparation and there was only a half-length in it here last time over this trip. Serious money is likely to come again and she sets a decent standard. SOUND IT OUT (9) debuts for the Waller yard and looked the part in her lead-up. Childs is a positive jockey booking and the filly can pose a threat. BURJ EMPEROR (2) resumes off a near-miss at Pakenham when he led. He's an improving galloper with solid claims. No surprise to see ABSOLUTE WARRIOR (1) show better form this preparation. LATE ARRIVAL (4) is a debutant deserving of a betting watch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Drift Net.
