GARUDA (2) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over today's course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Likely to be there at the finish again. ROYALLY BLUE (7) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish third last time out over 1006m at this track (Synthetic). Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and three minor placings from six starts. Well placed and should be in the finish. TRAVEL HAPPY (3) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the turn at this track (Synthetic), finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths starting at $3.90. Yet to miss the placings in four starts over this course and distance. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. FREE TO ROAM (8) had been rock-solid with four placings in a row before finishing eighth over 1673m at this track last start. Reunites with Tyler Gaffalione who has a win when partnering. Don't underestimate.
