5.28 R8 No3 Rocket Royale - Hard to go past the lightly raced improver Rocket Royale here. Having 5th career start and resuming from a spell. Consistently improved at each of 4 starts 1st prep winning impressively at 2nd and 3rd starts before last start finished 2nd beaten 2.3l in A30000n2x company. Likely leader here today and pace scenario indicates will get the lead without too much pressure early. Should be able to kick into the stretch and run strong closing pars under that scenario and hold sway over the closers down to the wire. A lot of merit when 2nd last start with a 4*6l margin back to 3rd and 4th indicating the depth of the performance. Very good breeding for this grade by Sire: Roy (Fappiano) $10,000 service fee Dam: Attractive Missile (Relaunch). Also gets a Hot Jockey in last 7 days ( 12 3- 2- 1) and trainer has good percentages across 2 spheres of relevance inc Btn favorite ( 36 22% -0.80 ) Allowance ( 174 17% +0.17 ). Very hard to toss on that basis and should win here.
