Strong tempo primarily from Celtic Beauty, Sovereign Grant and Perilla over Warrior Royale and Acacia's Blossom. WARRIOR ROYALE (6) was not disgraced when sixth in the Grade 3 Umzimkhulu Stakes last time. She returns from a 21-week break, which would have done her the world of good. She has won once and finished second twice from as many starts here over this trip. She is the stable elect with Tristan Godden in the saddle, and she can go close to taking this out. PERILLA (8) showed some signs of a form return when fifth in the Listed Off To Stud Stakes last time. Five of her seven career victories have come over this distance. She will be mowing down the frontrunners. MALCOLM'S DREAM (5) was her own worst enemy here over this distance last time out as she over-raced in the early stages. If finding the form of her penultimate run, she should have a say in the outcome of this contest. CELTIC BEAUTY (1) returns from a 19-week break. She won her only attempt here over this trip. If getting away to a clean start from pole position, she should be hard to peg back. Each way.
