Verdict

Hard to knock the form of ROYAL PRINCESS (2) who added to a string of wins and placings at this venue when successful last time out, coming from the back row to score by almost 6 metres. Up in grade but the good draw gives her the chance to take that step. LITTLELIONELJAMES (9) came from a similar barrier to this when he scored by one metre last week, giving him two wins and two placings from his last four attempts at this circuit and distance. Big chance to do it again. SPORTS BOUNTY (3) has been racing consistently and could be close to another win after finishing runner-up last week. BRACKEN WARRIOR (5) was brave when working but fighting well to go under by neck last week. Go well again.
