|---|---|---|---|---|

Keen speed battle, with Blind Ambition, Mighty Eagle and Royal Edition prominent. PALACE PRINCE (2) is racing well and trip suits. Change of rider and looks hard to beat on the figure from two back. Worth another chance. FULLY LOADED (9) is on the quick back-up after winning here over 1200m a couple of days ago. Strong effort last time and looks a leading hope. SECRET CHORD (4) is racing in great form and strips fitter. First try at the trip but looks one of the main contenders. ROYAL EDITION (3) is well back in distance after winning last time. Did win only other try this course and distance. Loves it here and should go well again.
