GOING: G

Community Bank Drouin & District 4YO+ Maiden Plate (Chute) 1200m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Cracking tempo with As Good As and Ichiberu leading the way. JAKIVY (1) peaks and is showing enough to win this contest. He has more to give, and Lane's booking is a decent push for his chances. PESCHIERA (11) resumes and has been switched from Sydney by the Hawkes barn. She's raced well in strong provincial and metro company and has jumped out well at Flemington. A threat. SILENT FOX (3) spiked his figures narrowly beaten at Bairnsdale. This is harder, but he may have turned the corner and has each-way claims. POWER OF MONEY (2) raced favourite at Geelong on debut but needed the learning. Resumes with a couple of jumpouts under the saddle and no surprise to see him race well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Jakivy.
