GOING: S(6)

BARFOOT & THOMPSON 1500m

Track: SOFT 6     Out 5m  

Expecting Erin Go Bragh to take up the running with Bourbon Proof and Penman close at hand. DRAMATIC MISS (11) close third at G2 last start. Looks the winner here no matter the footing on offer today. In-form stable and they have five runners in this field. PENMAN (1) is a class dropper. Course proven. Stable have five in this 3yo race it needs to be emphasized. Has won on dry and wet footing. BOURBON PROOF (4) is a multiple class dropper. Trifecta and first four chance back 900m in this. ERIN GO BRAGH (3) this is harder here. Won well fresh up. On pacer. SEXY AND I MOET (9) she is a multiple class dropper here. The filly can handle all types of footing importantly. Stable have five in this field. Must be a chance as this yard is flying. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dramatic Miss is a win wager.
