GOING: G(4)

BLACK DIAMOND DRILLING MAIDEN 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Expecting a strong gallop with King Of France and Perfect Ruler taking up the running over Lasting Legacies. Not a bad little maiden this. JEKYLL ISLAND (4) hasn't been too far away in his last few and should be right in the mix when the whips are cracking today. Major player. PRINCE OF BONDI (7) is off a freshen following an ordinary run at Northam on June 2. Wasn't far off at Ascot prior to that, and prepared to assess off that performance which would give him winning claims. PERFECT RULER (3) looks nicely placed back to the seven furlongs and boasts each-way claims today. LASTING LEGACIES (9) looked okay resuming and should be set to improve second-up. Respect. LENDANEAR (5) missed by a neck over this trip two back and holds claims off that run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jekyll Island can win this maiden.
