GOING: S(7)

JAMES SQUIRE PLATE 1250m

Track: SOFT7   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 5.83).  

Khaznah to take charge ahead of Summer Soiree at a solid tempo. SUMMER LOVING (7) is the class runner returning from a 38-week spell. Tackled the best fillies in training when last in work and was most competitive, beaten under two lengths in Group Twos behind the likes of Autumn Ballet and Tiz Invincible. Recent trial winner who looks the one to beat despite the lay-off. SUMMER SOIREE (8) recorded her fourth minor placing from six starts when she led only to be collared on the line over 1300m at Warwick Farm a fortnight ago. Very honest and is a real threat with the light weight. GRASSBURN (4) beat all but the talented Depth Of Character over this course and distance at her last run three weeks ago. Progressive filly with definite claims. Russian Revolution debutante MADAM INSTRIFE (6) is a half-sister to Group One winner Invincibella. Three-time trial winner who demands attention. KHAZNAH (5) has placed 5/5 so she is difficult to leave out with the help of the inside draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Very good little maiden, with Summer Loving getting the nod.
