Kembla Grange Race 8

Wests Illawarra (Bm64)

Stake: $45,780

EXCEED PERFECTION (6) should be at peak fitness third up and will be the one to catch. He was just fair at Canterbury second up but this is easier and his best form reads well despite a low winning strike rate. CLUBMAN (2) resumes. He's a sparingly raced 5yo who won easily at Scone before a spell. His trials have left plenty to be desired but if he's given market support he's firmly in the mix. CALL ME MAGNIFIQUE (11) resumes for his second campaign with a nice profile. He won well on debut at Scone last time in, then starting $3.40 to beat CLUBMAN second time out. He was given a solid trial with Lloyd who sticks for race day. YOUR NOT THE BOSS (5) is race fit and should take beating.

At the latest run from last on the turn 5th of 10 at this track Prov Bm68 on July 17 over 1200m, 0.9 len behind Zaragoza carrying 55.5kg at $5.50. The start before that was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 0.5 len at Moruya Bm74 July 11 over 1425m on a soft track defeating Vermicella with 55kg at $8. Best form reads well.
