RACE EIGHT
Resuming in this grade with an impressive victory, ROYAL SPEECH (9) found the outside front line a hurdle too high last start when under 2m from the winner. With the chance to follow through for running line position in the early stages, he can look to capitalise.
TARGARYEN (6) returns from a well-deserved spell after closing a long campaign with a run of consistency. Runner-up when just a half-neck from HIRANYA at his last outing, he has tuned up with a tidy trial and in this grade can throw it down fresh.
CAPTAIN NEMO (1) has been runner-up at his past two starts from fence trips, last week when snaring a slice of luck to dart through from the second line to lead and then beaten a neck. The gate puts him right in the fight.
JAYJAYBENNY (3) produced a gritty effort first up for the new stable when sitting parked, putting the leader away at the 400 and then fighting hard to the wire. He can feature again here.
SELECTIONS: ROYAL SPEECH (9), TARGARYEN (6), CAPTAIN NEMO (1), JAYJAYBENNY (3),
SUGGESTED BET: ROYAL SPEECH (9) to win
