Verdict

ROYAL AND READY (2) Royal Meeting gelding from Silk Trail on debut for the Matt Smith yard. Has impressed in all his trials and the blinkers and lugging-bit go on for this. Finds a winnable race from the right gate. ARIZONA LONER (4) drifted back on the soft (7) surface and failed to make an impression when eighth over 5 ½f at Warwick Farm in a Super Maiden. Finds an easier assignment and gets his chance from the good barrier. FEAZABEEL (1) resumes. Ran third in town last preparation over this trip and has a handy fresh record. Wasn't extended in his two trials so look for a strong showing. ROULADEN (3) was gelded over the break so keep safe.
