PERFECT PLAY (1) resumed and raced handy and kept finding to finish beaten a whisker over 1500m at this track. He's further improved and is proven second up. The 2kg claim remains handy and he's proven second-up. In a top barn and will take beating. ALL MACHIAVELLIAN (8) improved again nudged out here in a 68. That's strong form and he can feature with average luck in the run. NATOYA (4) drifted well back then came with a powerful run to finish 1L from the winner when resuming last start over 1400m at Newcastle. The former Kiwi keeps the 2kg claim and is well-placed to threaten. KOSUKE (3) resumes and is up to this if presented on song. Will come into his own over further but won a country 66 comfortably first up last time over 1500m and won a recent Muswellbrook trial over 1000m. Keep safe. TAVOLO (7) is third-up and should be ready to test her best form. Has a 3kg claim and maps well.
