2025 Perth Stakes Runner by Runner
1. Do I Feel Lucky (1)
Won the Restricted Listed Magic Millions WA 2YO Classic over 1200m at Pinjarra and has 2 wins and 2 seconds from his 4 starts. Strong chance.
2. Castle Road (7)
Has 2 wins from 4 starts. Resumed from an 11 week break for 5th at this track and distance where he was the early leader but tired late. Is fitter now.
3. Kings Court (5)
Resumed from a 20 week break to win narrowly over 1000m at Ascot. Has lots of early speed. In the mix.
4. Capitola (4)
Not raced for 8 weeks but was 2nd in a recent trial. Place chance.
5. Heaven Specified (6)
Playing God gelding who ran 2nd at Ascot on debut then was 4th at Belmont. Not the worst.
6. Elite Beau (10)

8. Just Too Fly (12)
