If Not For Dylan (9/4), Heavey (9/2), Cap St Vincent (9/2), Amalfi Doug (13/2), Frau Georgia (7/1), Cilaos Glace (7/1), Bafana Blue (18/1), Eaglehill (28/1)

Verdict

AMALFI DOUG is the current Perth modern-day record holder with 7 wins and he can add another victory to his tally at his favourite course. Having had 5 months off, he looks to have been finding his way back to form on his last 2 starts and is now 6 lb below his last winning mark. The main dangers could be Cap St Vincent and Cilaos Glace, who are also both well handicapped on old form.

  1. AMALFI DOUG (FR)
  2. CAP ST VINCENT (FR)
  3. CILAOS GLACE (FR)
