GOING: H(9)

SWAN DRAUGHT HANDICAP 1200m

Track: HVY9   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: +3m Entire Cutaway in straight.  

A solid tempo is on the cards with No Brainer and Snow Prince pushing for the lead ahead of Bayezid and Tycoon Harry. NO BRAINER (12) showed plenty of talent in his debut campaign, winning two on-end before a spell. Interestingly, he comes into this without a trial, though the booking of Chris Parnham suggests he's ready to fire first-up. Ticks plenty of boxes and can pick up where he left off. SUPERSESSION (4) just missed last start in a good performance at Pinjarra, going down by a nose. Fiore remains in the saddle and he looks to get a similar run today from the inside barrier. Looks set for a bold effort, with the wet track being his only niggle. WUBIN GOLD (6) flew late but never really looked likely over 1400m at Pinjarra last start. Back to 1200m today and she's won both attempts on a wet track previously. Can land in a midfield position and fly home over the top of her rivals. SUNNY HONEY (10) is racing well without winning and has to be included. SISU WARRIOR (1) won well first-up, beating Supersession and can feature again. SUGGESTED PLAY: No Brainer can score a first-up victory.
