The unexposed LUCKY ROYALE was having only her second start of the year when landing a similar event over 5f here last month. It's worth sticking with Jeremy Gask's filly as there should be more to come and she can confirm running with runner-up Brian Sprout, fifth Replicator and sixth Emerald Royal. My Best Man finished second in a C&D maiden a fortnight ago and can figure again as he had Lovat Lane and Chillie Peppar behind, while Slatey Hen has slipped down the weights and has claims dropping into this low grade company.
