JAMES SQUIRE HANDICAP 2000m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 6m Entire. (Pent: 5.96).  

Perfect Play and Dschingis Prestige to roll forward and dictate the tempo. PERFECT PLAY (7) improving imported gelding near his top now after two runs back. Sound again when he returned good final splits to finish a close-up third over 1700m at Scone on May 18. Expected to race closer to the speed and will keep improving as he gets out in trip. Go close. FOR VICTORY (3) racing in career best form and stretches out to the 2000m for the first time today. Drifted back before powering late with the 58.5kg when second over 1700m at Scone on May 18. Has more to give this prep and can easily pounce on these late. PRINCIPESSA (6) has needed the last two runs to bring her to her peak and was a slick winner over the 1900m five back in soft going. Drop in weight suits and has the numbers to take this out. KUREDER (5) dour type back in grade here after having no luck from the wide draw when fourth over this trip at Randwick on May 25. Can race a little closer and take a hand in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,3,6,5.
