Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Ferrari Man. ROYALTOWN (4) just ran out of town last time at Nowra when missing the bob. Should be at his top now third-up and keeps gun hoop in Loy. Trainer/Jockey combo very formidable. DESERT OPAL (2) is in red-hot touch shooting for the hat-trick. Is drawn to get all the favours on the quick back-up. BLOW ON THE DICE (5) skipped through the testing conditions at Wodonga last start to score comfortably. Boudvillain takes over from Loy. SACRED MISTRESS (1) has been well below her best in her two runs back, efforts that have perhaps been too bad to be true. Is 1/1 over this track and trip and gets an important 4kgs off with Ellison's claim. Not writing her off. ADASITI (6) was good two back at Albury but disappointed last start. Keeping safe for a minor spot. SUGGESTED PLAY: Royaltown to go one better.
