The feature sprint with Key To Fame to lead Casino Belle. DARK ROYALTY has come from back in the field to win both runs this campaign and was wide as favourite the latest. This is a step-up but he gets a better gate here and a 5kg weight drop. DISPOSITION resumes off Group company for Durrant with Pike booked. He’s won 3/4 FU and is a deserved top-weight. Casino Belle and Key To Fame will show good early pace ahead of The Cruel Sea then Roger The Roman in the feature. MIKI TWO TOES box-seated then proved a shade too strong when victorious at Listed level last start over this trip at Belmont. Distance specialist who continues to race well as an 8YO. DARK ROYALTY could not have been more impressive last start, coming from back in the field and wide with a whirlwind finish to score over this course and distance. Has a wonderful record at this track and on the limit looks a huge threat. DISPOSITION is three times Group 1 placed and represents the quality in the field. Resumes from a spell of 81 days but has good first up stats and did rate through the roof last prep at his only run at this trip in the Belmont Sprint. KEY TO FAME tired late behind our top selection last start but strips a lot fitter this afternoon. SUGGESTED PLAY: A terrific race and backing Dark Royalty each way.
