RELATED DUTY (11) is yet to break through in seven runs. Finished fifth at his last appearance over 7f at Mudgee on February 25. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. BAILE FERVOR (5) did a good job last start to finish third at this track over 6½f, beaten 1.5 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Drawn out but going well enough to play a role. ROYAL STANDARD (4) has not raced since his debut on March 21 over 6f at Mornington when he finished fourth, beaten 7 lengths. Blinkers come off expected to be competitive. REASONABLE (7) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last time over 6¼f at Canterbury when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 1.4 lengths. In the right race and is a key runner.
