Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 5m Entire.  

Regal City to take charge at a good tempo. ROYAL TORONADO (4) is a stablemate of the top pick who was doing his best work late when finishing fifth here a fortnight ago. He will relish the step up to a mile and back in an easier grade. In a race weakened by scratchings he can have the last say. BORDER FORCE (8) is working up to a win with some nice recent efforts at this track, beaten 1.2L two back before clocking in second last week. Draws for a soft run so could go one better. WESTERN POWER (6) has been close up in both runs here since a Northam win. Go well again. COBBANCO (1) is fitter for recent racing so can show more. SUGGESTED PLAY: Royal Toronado to strike.
