Verdict

DAMA ROYALE (9) has placed in both starts to date, beaten 0.6 lengths on debut at Cranbourne when third and good again last time when just finding one better. Drawn wide this time but up to 6f can suit and she can break through. SINGLES MOMENT (7) made good improvement at his second start when missing a nose at Kyneton over 5 ½f. Gets a significant jockey change with Damian Lane aboard here from a good gate and that can prove the difference. PURSUANT (6) wasn't beaten far in a bunched finish first up at Cranbourne and can improve out to 6f if able to get across early. GENOMIC (3) is a colt by Vino Rosso on debut for the Griffiths yard. He got home well to win a recent jumpout and draws for every hope. BON EROS (1) was okay fresh and can do better with that run under the belt.
