ROYAL HONOUR (14) looks close to a win after four minor placings in a row, most recently finishing a very close second over 5½f at this track after being in contention all the way. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. UNFAILING TRUTH (12) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 3. 5 lengths from the winner in fifth at this track over 5½f. Blinkers are added so with added fitness she looms as a big threat. UNAPPROACHABLE (10) resumes from a lay-off of six-and-a-half months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 6f at Bairnsdale. Has trialled well leading into this. One of the leading chances. WASAI (5) is a well bred three-year-old gelding on debut. By Exceedance from Hautvillers who has produced plenty of winners. Filled a minor placing in his most recent trial at Cranbourne. Beautifully drawn and any market lead would add to the confidence.
