BIG ROYAL (4) raced on the speed and found plenty to score by 1.3 lengths at today's track and trip when first-up from a layoff last time out. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. NINLIL (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths into fifth after being in the firing line on the bend. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SCALLOP (5) did his best work late and finished third last time over 1200m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 2 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ETERNAL VOW (10) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1200m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
