FANTASTIC ROYAL (5) improved last time out, finishing one length from the winner in second at the end of 1300m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. DOCTOR PRINCE (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into seventh. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SEOBULINA (8) started at $6 last time and ran below expectations, finishing eighth and beaten 14 lengths at this track over 1600m. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. RIVER RUN (11) fought on for second last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 6 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
