Road To Dubai ended last year with a victory in a Perth novices' race on heavy ground but a run on the Flat last month will ensure he comes here fit enough. PREMIUM PACKAGE put a disappointing run at Tramore behind with a convincing success in what looked a decent Down Royal maiden. He'll be better suited by the conditions than the hunter chaser Samurai Cracker who would probably prefer a stiffer test. The remaining trio look as though they are playing for a minor spot.
