Verdict

ROYAL SILVER (11) good type who returns from a let-up after the two excellent runs in town. Will have little trouble in the going and since fitted with a 5 ¼f trial placing at Randwick. Go close from the good draw. MY PROCLAMA (8) finished in the minor money at all five starts and shouldn't be a Maiden for long. Found the 5f too short first-up when third third at this track. Comes to hand quickly and ticks a few boxes. Respect. WISHFUL THINKER (5) resumes from a lengthy break after the two mixed runs in Victoria. Looks primed for this with the two good trials and gets every chance from the low draw. STAR HALF (4) Zoustar gelding from Scrum) on debut for the Hawkes' yard. Given plenty of time to develop and the trials have been sound. Each-way.
