In depth
Verdict
A modest fillies handicap in which Bint Royal looks set to confirm recent form with Landofheartsdesire. Vicky Haigh's charge has been in consistent form of late and she won't have to do too much to land today's affair. The selection's second to Miss Glory Be (Landofheartsdesire back in fourth) reads well in the context of this race and Darryll Holland has been booked for the mount. Top-weight Waraqa ran a stinker on her seasonal reappearance and is best watched until there are signs of a return to form. Dominion's Rose is still a maiden but heads from a shrewd yard and a top all-weather pilot has been booked. Eyes Wide Open does not look to be one of the stable stars.
