GOING: G(4)

Drummond Golf Plate 1519m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

Pace will be genuine with Wollemia Angel in advance of Puglia. EYES WIDE SHUT (7) comes here third up having been beaten under a length at both starts this time in, running on well on both occasions. She gets more ground here and draws to sit closer which suit. Won't need to improve much to take this out. PUGLIA (8) was huge odds on debut at Ballarat but ran very well for a narrow second. If she backs up that performance she'll go close. MOUNT RINJANI (3) was just behind Puglia on debut at Ballarat and is bred to improve. He should be hard to hold out. WOLLEMIA ANGEL (9) can give a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Eyes Wide Shut to win.
