CLASSIC ROYALE (2) finished a 4.5 lengths ninth at Ascot last time but will strip fitter for this. Backmarker who gets home hard. One of the leading chances. MARKET PLAYER (4) has not raced since his debut back on November 7 when he finished fourth over 1300m at Northam. Will have a lot more to offer this time. SISTER TALK (7) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten a head into second over 1200m at Pinjarra. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Will give backers a great sight. SAINTY CULLITY (1) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish eighth at the latest run over 1600m at Northam. Should present well following a recent trial win. Solid top-three hope.
