GOING: G

SWAN DRAUGHT - GIMCRACK STAKES 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: True.  

Strong tempo with Aurum Belle and Mr Kaplan leading the way over Maria Lucia. AURUM BELLE (2) went to another level last time out when winning the Supremacy in fine style with sustained speed. Up to 1100m doesn't look and issue and she has enough speed to offset the tricky draw. She's an exciting filly who can keep her unbeaten streak alive. MARIA LUCIA (1) was too good in the Magic Millions, running over the top to score as the odds-on favourite. Parnham remains in the saddle from that effort and she showed good adaptability there to take a sit. She rates highly off that effort and can get the job done again today. JEDI DREAM (5) bolted in on debut 21 days ago, landing midfield and running away to score by 2.1L. This looks to shape similarly today and she's not to be discounted. YAMANEX (7) ran on from midfield to miss by 0.9L in the Millions but she rates well off that effort. Can bounce back. LADY TORQUE (9) can be finishing off strongly yet again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aurum Belle gets the nod.
