Verdict

CELEBRITY ROYAL (3) resumes from a spell of 20 months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 1 m at Maryborough. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Sure to prove hard to beat on his return. FUN TO LOVE (1) has been racing very well and deserved her success last time out, scoring by 17 metres over 1 5/16m at Carrick. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. OZZIE CORKA (4) is flying at present with three successive wins to his name, most recently at this track a week ago. Big chance to keep the ball rolling. ANOTHER NIEN (6) last appeared when he scored by one metre over 1 m at Launceston three-and-a-half months ago. Should be thereabouts and is worth including in combinations.
