Verdict

MONARCH MUSCLE (8) made an immediate impact on debut last start, scoring by 2.75 metres over 1 ?m at this track. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of getting the job done again. MAJESTIC WHIZDOM (5) finished sixth last start, beaten 15 metres at this track over 1 ?m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. ROYAL PETITE (6) last appeared when ninth over 1 ?m at this track six-and-a-half months ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep. SHRED N BURN (7) broke through last time out over 1 ?m at Cambridge Raceway. Must be included with the confidence up.
