Loads of pressure, primarily from Honey Slider, Our Celebrity and Ultra White. ST ROY (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten tenth over 1300m at Scone a week-and-a-half ago. Tackling a more suitable race this time and can find the winners' list. TRIFECTA RUBY (4) was well fancied last start over 1200m at Mallawa when fourth. Can atone with the claim. MY CROWN (10) showed early speed from an outside draw last time then tired over the final stages to finish eighth over 1600m at Warren. Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and is capable of going well. READY FOR LIFT OFF (14) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Gulgong, finishing fourth over 1200m. Can figure prominently. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,4,10,14.
