Verdict

ROYAL AND READY (5) disappointed as fav on debut, then chipped away late in stronger company with a respectable third over 7f at Newcastle. Key jockey change from the inside gate and gets his chance no the race has fallen away. ROULADEN (4) back for his second campaign with a courageous on-speed second over 7f at Nowra on the heavy (8) surface. Fitter now from a better gate and sure to be thereabouts. MR BOHEMIAN (8) is improving with racing on the country circuit and gives the indication he's looking for this trip and further now. Kept safe in betting when he closed late to run fourth over 7f at Tamworth in a Super Maiden. Hard fit now. ANDMARK LADY (6) much better effort at Scone the she worked home late to run third over 1 ?m. Place best.
