Verdict
Shareef Star was runner-up to a subsequent winner here last month and can race off the same mark but it’s about time COURT ROYALE was getting his head back in front and the handicapper has given him every chance today. Warwick third Joey Steel may prove the pick of Christian Williams’ two runners, ahead of Loup De Maulde, while Lessankan has won four of his last five between the flags and is still unexposed under Rules. Dindin has become hard to place.
