NZH - Alexandra Park - Race 2

FRANCO RONALDO (5) made a solid impact on debut five weeks ago, finishing third and beaten 3 metres over 1 ?m at this track. MUSCLE MEMORY (3) was 6 metres away in third at Cambridge Raceway over 1 ?m last start at his first run back from a spell. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field and he can go right on with the job. ROYAL PETITE (8) is a consistent performer with three top-three finishes on the trot. Only needs things to fall her way and the good recent form can convert to a well-deserved win. BIJOU (9) debuted impressively last start, scoring by half a metre over 1 ?m at this track. Has plenty of scope for improvement.
