RACE FIVE
ROYAL PRINCESS (8) was a winner here 2 starts back when sent forward from gate 4 to find a position before ultimately settling in the 1x1 trail. Weaving a passage over the last 300m to arrive for a narrow victory, she followed it with a close 2nd last start when beaten a head. She can arrive.
ILLAWONG DREAMTIME (9) was put on the front-end last start from gate 3 and after a pedestrian opening half looked to hold all the aces. Unfortunately, he did not hold the winning hand and was trumped when ARTISTIC SAINT arrived. The gate is not ideal, but he can challenge against this field.
OUR PEPPERJACK (3) eased from gate 4 to find position last start but was making some nice metres in the latter stages when 4m in arrears of the winner. Settling handy he is a podium hope in this.
MISTERRIODEJANEIRO (6) faces a tough ask from the wide gate, but his form has ben sound of late, hitting the line in nice style. Only 2m away last time, he can be making a closing play.
