GOING: S(5)

SWAN DRAUGHT HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +7m Entire.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Buckland and Jimmy Angel matching motors. LADY MONEY TALK (6) went straight to the front last start and was far too good, winning by 1.4L in a dominant display. Can take up the running again third-up for Fiore and she looks a nice filly on the way up. Can bring up back-to-back wins. JIMMY ANGEL (1) missed in a photo finish tow back before dropping to 1200m last start and ending up 0.9L off the winner. Has the speed to roll across from the tricky barrier and he'll be tough to run down back out in distance. VANDOULA JET (2) steps up to 1400m for the first time today and it looks to suit on what she's done recently. Back in grade today is a bonus and all her gear comes off now. Wouldn't surprise to see her get back to winning ways. CLASSIC RULER (10) is third-up now and looks to be on the way up, finishing 0.5L off the winner last time out. Won't be far away. WHERE'S BRITTANY (9) can improve third-up into the campaign. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lady Money Talk can repeat the dose.

Racing well recently. Most recently sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 9 at Belmont Park 3yo 0Mwly on June 10 over 1200m, 0.9 len behind Hurricane Harley with 58.5kg at $8.50. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at Belmont Park 3yo 0Mwly on May 27 over 1400m, nose behind Esta Mirando carrying 58kg at $9.50. Better suited out to this trip now and another forward showing is expected.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign seventh of 11 at Pinjarra Grad Hcp 60+ February 14 over 2000m, 5 len behind All Grunt with 55kg at $12. When resuming last campaign eighth of 11 at Geraldton Cl2 December 27 over 1400m, 9 len behind Scurgeofthewest carrying 60kg at $6.50. Plenty of more attractive propositions in this race.

Third-up today. Resuming made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Albany Mdn on May 7 over 1240m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Crashed And Burned carrying 55.5kg at $3.40. Last start won by 1.4 len at Pinjarra Scarpside 3yo Mdn June 4 over 1400m defeating Mystic Chaos carrying 55kg at $6. Too good from the front last time and she can go back-to-back.
