DONGARA SWAN DRAUGHT CUP 1850m Track: Good 34 Rail: True. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A keen contest with Argyle Star prominent courtesy of the rails draw, joined by Kentucky Blue and Cantilever. ENDLESS JOY (12) never got into it last start at Ascot when tackling a CL3. Her form prior was very strong however and those efforts stack right up in this field. Drawn nicely with no weight on her back and a forward showing is expected. ARGYLE STAR (6) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 1.75 lengths when eighth over 1600m at Pinjarra two weeks ago. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. LET'S SEA (9) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 1600m at Geraldton, beaten 3 lengths. Nicely placed to play a leading role. TRUEVINSKY (1) can bounce back following a disappointing run last time out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Endless Joy to win.
