ROYAL CHIC (6) returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 5½f at Sunshine Coast. Ran fourth in a recent trial at Deagon. Ready for a bold run. PROVOKER (2) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 5f at Eagle Farm in a tougher race. Has plenty of upside so he should pay to follow. LOCKYER (1) finished 5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 5f at Eagle Farm when resuming from a lay-off. Steps up in distance. Will appreciate a drop in grade. Capable of testing this field. WEEKEND SPIRIT (17) is a son of Spirit Of Boom out of Weekend Saga having his first start. Impressive recent trial winner with this rider Jake Bayliss in the saddle. Blinkers on one of the contenders.
