GOING: S(6)

DROMORE LUCERNE COOMA PLATE 2000m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 4.92)  

From the wide gate Steamed Hams can cross and lead a race without a great deal of pace on paper. Tough. THINK I DO (11) improved again winning a Maiden easily at Forbes on a heavy track before missing a whisker this trip at Moruya - and she didn't have the best of luck. Gets in well with the 2kg claim, and she can bounce back for the premier local yard. GOOFINATOR (2) raced forward and just missed at Moruya along with the top selection. He flopped as a hot favourite on the Acton synthetic following, drawn wide, and put the pen through that. Maps to advantage and the 2kg claim brings him right into it. SWEXAN (4) is in a top Sydney barn and draws low. Fully fit now and expect more with the blinkers on. ZOUWASE (6) showed better form last start on the Acton synthetic. Maps well and races forward. Pemza rides today and will give him every chance. AUTUMN HEIR (12) has been racing without success in stronger provincial company and was well supported on a heavy track at Newcastle over 1890m last time. Seasoned and gets his chance in this line-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Think I Do.
