CURLY JAMES A (4) has recorded three wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Maintained the impressive form last time when 2.25 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field and he can grab another win. HEMSWORTH N (1) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 25 metres into eighth at this track over 1609m. No excuses from this more advantageous draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can finish a lot closer this time. IKNOWBETTER (7) is the next elect off a last-start win by 3 metres at this track over 1609m. KEAYANG KAMIKAZE A (2) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out.
