PERFECT PLAY (7) knuckled down strongly to get within 0.9 lengths of the winner in third last start over 1m1/2f at Scone. Should park just off the speed. Will prove tough to beat. KUREDER (5) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1m2f at Randwick, clocking in 4.5 lengths from the winner. Has the right profile. PRINCIPESSA (6) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she got a long way back over 1m at Randwick, beaten 3.5 lengths into eighth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. LYRICAL GANGSTER (9) made late ground and finished third last time over 7¾f at Canterbury when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 0.6 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of a big run.
