GOING: G(4)

Drummond Club Handicap 1519m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

Expecting Divine Thoughts to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. INTREPID EAGLE (2) is a consistent type who ran a solid race in second behind the progressive Angland at Murray Bridge last time out, only second up there. He's a winner here and should be ready to peak third up out in trip. DIVINE THOUGHTS (11) won her maiden dominantly two back before an even effort in a bunched finish at this track last week. She'll roll forward and give a sight again. INEXORABLE (10) won his maiden easily fresh and wasn't far away at Cranbourne. He's always promised a decent level of ability. WINSOME STAR (8) was good fresh and will strip fitter with claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Intrepid Eagle to win.
