GOING: S(6)

SWAN DRAUGHT MAIDEN 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 2m Entire.  

Good early pace headed by Frappuccino, Smart Shadow and Flinders Lane, with Le Troy and Amazing Cheat in their slipstream. FRAPPUCCINO (1) has been scratched from a couple of other races to line up here. He was good last start at Belmont when a beaten favourite and should be hitting his top now. Getting back onto a good surface may hold the key and Chris Parnham rides now. Ticks plenty of boxes. SMART SHADOW (13) went down narrowly last start after leading the field as a 50-1 pop, ending up just 1.9L behind an impressive winner. That form may have been franked by now and he maps well again and will take catching with the light weight on her back. MYTHICAL DREAM (7) disappointed on debut back in January, though the form out of that race worked out well. He's since switched barns to the Michael Grantham stable and his recent trial was super. Pike rides on resumption and he can make his presence felt. FLINDERS LANE (9) disappointed last start but is better than what she showed there. Can bounce back. AMAZING CHEAT (11) can build on the fresh effort and has strong claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Frappuccino.
