Verdict

ROYAL HONOUR (9) resumes for his second campaign having shown good ability in two runs last time in, placing in both, beaten a neck over 5f on debut before a solid effort in town. He should be an improver this time in and has the speed to settle in the first four. He profiles as a likely winner. ALLEVIATE (12) ran a solid race on debut at Kyneton when in the market, sticking on fairly for third over 6f. She'll be better for that and looks a live chance. LOCHEND PRINCESS (13) has jumped out well for her debut and has to be included in the main chances. I'M SAVVY AS (7) the next in line for his return.
