ROYAL HONOUR (6) was well in the market on debut last time out and ran well but found one better over 5f at Cranbourne. Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. ESPANA (8) finished fifth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 5f at Ballarat, beaten only 1. 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Goes up a rung or two but she is capable of running a bold race. GRAM (2) returned from a lay-off three weeks ago when he was prominent at the turn before being beaten 4. 5 lengths into fifth over 5f at Mornington. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. LONGREACH DROVER (3) finished second last start over 5½f at Gawler, beaten 0. 6 lengths. Should be peaking. Worth plenty of thought.
