FOLLOW CHARLIE 9/2
FOLLOW CHARLIE at 9/2, R. Mike Smith with Murray Dodd taking off 5lb, is the one that stands out. He has already won round this track 3 times, handles the ground, with a win from 15 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
PURE GOLD rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — 2 runs on soft or heavy, never won, never placed — and today is soft.
