Runway Ruler should find the front with Eyes Wide Shut and Sara's Rocket on her heels. Very tricky way to round out the card, where a few might be needed for the Quaddie. RUNWAY RULER (10) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, but they were in tougher races than this and with the benefit of those runs under the belt she can be expected to improve. Unlike many in the race, WRITTEN ROYALTY (2) has been racing consistently this prep and this presents a big chance to get back into the winner's stall. SIMPLY OUTRAGEOUS (14) resumes here off some adequate jumpouts and looks to have more upside than most. VINCENTINA (8) also resumes and will be better over further but gets in well after the 4kg claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Runway Ruler each way.
