GOING: H(8)

JAMES SQUIRE STAYER'S CUP 2400m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.88).  

Father's Day should be able to comfortably find the front. FATHER'S DAY (7) tough gelding at his top now after being collared late when a sound on-pace second as a well-fancied fav over 2400m at Randwick Kensington in easier grade on June 12. Sharp weight drop with the claim and will take a ton of catching fourth-up. NAVAL COMMISSION (9) progressive staying gelding chasing his fourth-straight victory here. Strong through the line when a comfortable 1.1 len winner over 2200m at Warwick Farm on June 5. Looks up to the steep class rise from the inside draw. KUREDER (8) undefeated in two attempts over the 2400m and looks well in with the 3kg claim today. Anchored with the 58.5kg in the heavy (9) going when fifth over 2000m here two weeks ago. No shock to see him finish over the top of these. Group 1 placegetter GAN TEORAINN (5) returned to form with an encouraging third from well back over 2400m in the LR Winter Cup here on June 15. Senior rider on today and a repeat of latest should see her play a leading role in this easier contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,9,8,5.
