GOING: G(4)

DRUMMOND GOLF MAIDEN 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +6m Entire.  

Off Grid to take charge ahead of Swindle The Dough at a strong tempo. SWINDLE THE DOUGH (2) made further improvement, narrowly beaten this track/trip from the front. Jumps out of a low barrier and can lead or trail. Deserves to break through. PARISH PRINCE (3) raced well last preparation and resumed further improved this track/trip. Didn't get into it at Pinjarra following from a wide barrier. Maps well today, and Chris Parnham takes over. Fitter again, and his best would see him right in the finish. OFF GRID (5) was on-pace and nudged out at Pinjarra on debut. Is sure to have come on and has claims. NOW SHOWING (4) has to manage an awkward barrier, but he will appreciate the longer sprint and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Swindle The Dough on top.
