GOING: G

Community Bank Drouin & District Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Under My Thumb heading them off. UNDER MY THUMB (6) resumes. She showed good promise in her debut campaign, placing in all three runs, only narrowly beaten on debut at Geelong in a handy maiden. She's been jumping out well in preparation and is sure to take plenty of catching. Wary. HOFF IS ENUFF (2) has placed in both runs back from a spell and should be at peak fitness now. WATCHING OVER US (9) is a filly by Cable Bay on debut who won her latest jump out. Watch the market. MOTCOMBS (8) has been around the mark in two runs back from a spell and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Under My Thumb to win.
