Drouin Race 5

Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $5,000

SHEER GRUNT (5) finished out of the money two starts back then she was always well out of her ground and was beaten 4 lengths when seventh in a 2200m contest at Ararat a month ago. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. KAIMANA GAL (3) was out of the placings last time when fourth over 2008m at Woolamai but did finish in the money the start prior. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will give a great sight. SHINDIG SUNDAY (2) has five minor placings from six starts this time in work, the latest as favourite over 1650m at Healesville. Not far off a win and he looks a top challenger again. FIRST VENTURE (1) spotted them a big start last time out and could only manage to finish tenth over 1203m at Kyneton. Comes down a level this time. Sure to be thereabouts.
