FEDERAL EMERAN (4) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (20.38) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from six attempts. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. MR. O'MALLEY (1) had been racing in honest fashion recording four placings in a row before finishing seventh (20.37) at this track latest. Must be included in calculations. ROYAL BLOOD (2) scored (22.07) last time out at Q Lakeside in a Grade 6 and will break from box 2 for the first time. Leading chance again. UNINTENDED (7) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish in impressive time.
