Verdict

ROYAL HERITAGE (7) has battled in his last couple of starts over 7f, and dropping back in trip could be what is best for him at this stage of his career. He won't lack fitness, and with the aid of the pole position, he is worth another chance. I SAID SO (5) has been racing well off some bad draws this prep, and he is drawn slightly closer in to the fence this time. He is also down in class, and expected to figure in the top 4 again. SUSPECT (4) resumes from a spell, and has needed time to mature. He will never live up to his nearly 2 million dollar price tag as a yearling, but he is still only lightly tried, and more than capable of progressing further than BM56 company. BLACK ADAM (1) is a chance on wet ground. Keep safe.
