GOING: G(4)

Carlton Draught Maiden Plate 1211m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: +3m Entire .  

Genuine pace with Drumlargen taking up the running ahead of Fiorente Rules and Malawi Man. DRUMLARGEN (1) finds the maiden win elusive but again showed good early dash at the latest and led for most of the way before fading to finish fourth at Edenhope. Peak fitness now and is sure to take catching. TAAJWAR (6) finds it tough to get off the mark but did show some glimpses earlier in the prep when finding the line with a bit of purpose. Freshened with 47 days and looks better placed back out to this trip. Will have something to run down. JAMAICA STAR (9) is a four-year-old mare by Barbados on debut for the Darryl Dodson stable. Readied with two jump-outs and gets a key booking in Crowther. Finds a thin race to kick things off. XIGUOUS EQUUS (4) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Stephen Lenehan barn. May need the run off a 328-day break but strips fitter for a jump-out and doesn't strike a deep contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Drumlargen to lead all the way.
