Northam   16 Jul 2025
 
GOING: S(5)

SWAN DRAUGHT PLATE 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: +8m Entire.  

Anticipating a good amount of early pressure with many of these youngsters facing the starter for the first time. ZOURUN RUN (9) settled back but finished strongly behind the winner last start at Northam and that form may have been franked by now. He maps to sit a touch closer this time around under Chris Parnham and she's expected to have come on with the debut experience. Jumped favourite on debut and looks the one to beat. WHO'S BENT (2) was good on debut for the Pateman stable back in March and hasn't been sighted publicly since. He'd shown promise prior to that performance and while it's hard to gauge where he's at, though if he can return in similar form, he'll be right in the mix. ARIZONA SKY (4) has only been at the trials once, though she was solid without being asked to do a whole lot. Ticks a couple of boxes for Team Williams and Pike and won't be far away. ABOUT TURN (3) won't be far away if he gets a touch of luck. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zourun Run gets the nod.
