JAMES SQUIRE NEVILLE SELLWOOD STAKES 2000m Track: GOOD 4 Clear (Max: 29) Rail: Out 6m 900m-W/Post incl1200m Chute. Out 5m Remainder. (Pent: 5.21).
Reasonable tempo with Serpentine probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. ZEYREK (1) won this race last year third up and is following the same path this prep. He was not beaten far in Group 1 company a week ago and will be spot-on with his fitness for this. He is perfectly weighted down in class and should be the one to beat. SERPENTINE (2) led all the way for a brave win at Randwick 3 weeks ago and has come back in tip-top order. The key here is he drops 1.5 kilos in weight and is likely to set them up in front again. He will take all sorts of pegging back in this. RENAISSANCE WOMAN (9) ran on gamely in the Group 1 Coolmore Stakes here a fortnight ago. She looks nicely placed in this with an extra 500 metres to travel and is capable of taking this out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Serpentine each way.
