SOMETHING ROYAL (7) accounted for a maiden field over 1000m at Bunbury last start, finishing 0.9 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Looms as one of the hardest to beat again. SANCTIONS (2) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1200m at Ascot, beaten 2 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. FAMOUS DREAM (9) resumes from a spell of four months and is having her first outing under new trainer Tim Crosby. Finished fourth at Belmont Park over 1000m at the opening run last time in work. Well-placed and is among the chances. CLASSIC RULER (1) is back at the races for the first time since December 4. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1000m at Northam. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from three tries. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
