Reasonable tempo with Zou Royal probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. None of these can be ruled out. ZOU ROYAL (7) gets the nod after a game second when resuming over 1100m at Hawkesbury last start. On-pacer who is untried at this distance but has only raced three times so deserves the benefit of the doubt. TENNESSEE DOLLY (6) gets a pass-mark for her two runs since winning first-up in a Goulburn maiden. Back to the provincials off a decent effort last time in town and carries the same weight. Very fit filly who is right in contention. SPONARS (3) followed an effortless first-up win at Queanbeyan with an eye-catcher at the Illawarra Grange circuit a fortnight ago, storming home at the end of 1150m to just miss. Beautifully placed out to this trip at the third run back. ATTRACTIVENESS (2) is back after a 19-week spell. Last raced when beaten just 1.7 lengths in a 1350m Rosehill Highway. Three recent trials will have her well and truly ready. PRINCE CHARGE (1) resumes. Scored first-up when last in work at the Kensington track. Must be considered. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zou Royal each-way in a good race.
