GOING: S(6)

DRUMMOND GOLF HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 6.4).  

Strong early tempo with Bayezid leading the way over Final Authority. BAYEZID (1) led all the way to score by 1.5L in a similar race first-up at this track and trip. He's been kept fresh since that effort and while he does rise in weight, Derrick's claim and the inside draw should see him very hard to catch once again. LOST GRAVITY (7) rattled home from the tail of the field to score by 0.4L down the Pinjarra straight just 9 days ago. Suspect he ends up toward the rear once again, but his recent efforts stack up well in this field. Can be in the finish if he runs up to form. CAPRE OMNIA (2) won well here two back, beating Lost Gravity in the process before a disappointing effort behind Bayezid most recently. Can turn his form around with the aid of a handy barrier. UNIVERSAL PLAYBOY (8) won a recent trial impressively and is worth including in his first run for the Barton stable. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bayezid can go back-to-back.
