GOING: G(4)

PERTH STAKES 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: +8m Entire.  

Strong tempo with Castle Road, Kings Court and Chompin At The Bit leading the charge. Time for the first of the 2YO features and DO I FEEL LUCKY (1) comes straight here following the Magic Millions victory. He was strong on the speed there and he maps to get a similar run from an inside barrier today. That form looks good for a race like this and he'll be tough to catch from up on the speed. ELITE BEAU (6) has only had one start at the midweeks, but he ran a strong figure when winning there and moved like a good horse in doing so. The wide draw is a niggle, but he looks to have stacks of ability and Pike sticking is a big tick. Can go back-to-back. KINGS COURT (3) led throughout to win over 1000m on debut and has been back to the trials since, turning in a sharp victory. He can be on the speed from a good gate and with improvement likely, he'll take catching. CASTLE ROAD (2) tired first-up but should be better for that effort. Can bounce back. JUST TOO FLY (8) looks an exciting prospect on resumption and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Do I Feel Lucky.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 56-day let-up. Last start won by a nose at Pinjarra LR 2yo M Millions February 15 over 1200m defeating Perfectly Proper carrying 57kg at $4.20. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 13 at this track 2yo Swp on February 1 over 1100m, 0.8 len behind Strideaway carrying 58kg at $3.80. Strong from the front to win the Millions and can repeat the dose.
