Race preview
BELLEVUE (2) capable gelding proven at this course and distance. Drops sharply in class after he tired late to run sixth over 1600m at Kembla Grange. Maps to get every chance on the backup. Go close. DAMASCUS GATE (1) came out quickly with the 61kg for a tiring sixth over 1400m at Tuncurry in the soft (7) going. Claim helps again in a weaker race. PRINCE IS GAME (5) holding his form deep into the prep and kept fresh for this. Drops in trip today after he caught the eye late in the heavy (9) going when second over 2000m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. YORIKIRI (7) tough old gelding due for a change of luck. Was thereabouts again when he savaged the line for a sound third over 1700m at Scone. Adept in all conditions and no shock to see him finish over the top of these.
