OVERVIEW: ROYAL DAN (9) gained a nice trail but chased hard when second behind Naked Ambition in a slick mile rate of 1.56.5 at Melton last outing. He has been placed in seven of his eight starts to date and should take beating against this line up. EBONYS AVENGER (10) is a genuine Metropolitan performer so she appears to be well placed under these conditions. She finished fifth behind Arcee Phoenix (1.53.8) in the Maori Mile on January 06 and was fourth in the Derby Royale FFA at her next attempt so she should be competitive here. EXALTED (11) is stepping up in class but has always shown great potential and is starting to put it altogether. She worked forward to find the lead and won a heat of the Breed For Speed Silver series with ease at Bendigo last week so she cannot be underestimated. HEPHAESTUS PHOENIX (5) was resuming since an unplaced effort in the 2022 Breeders Crown Final when he attempted to lead throughout and was gunned down late at Melton last week. He should be fitter from that run and is worth an investment. EARLY SPEED: 5 (possible leader), 1,2,6,7 RATINGS: 9/ 10/ 5,11/ 1/ 7/ 2,3,8

OVERVIEW: ROYAL DAN (9) gained a nice trail but chased hard when second behind Naked Ambition in a slick mile rate of 1.56.5 at Melton last outing. He has been placed in seven of his eight starts to date and should take beating against this line up. EBONYS AVENGER (10) is a genuine Metropolitan performer so she appears to be well placed under these conditions. She finished fifth behind Arcee Phoenix (1.53.8) in the Maori Mile on January 06 and was fourth in the Derby Royale FFA at her next attempt so she should be competitive here. EXALTED (11) is stepping up in class but has always shown great potential and is starting to put it altogether. She worked forward to find the lead and won a heat of the Breed For Speed Silver series with ease at Bendigo last week so she cannot be underestimated. HEPHAESTUS PHOENIX (5) was resuming since an unplaced effort in the 2022 Breeders Crown Final when he attempted to lead throughout and was gunned down late at Melton last week. He should be fitter from that run and is worth an investment. EARLY SPEED: 5 (possible leader), 1,2,6,7 RATINGS: 9/ 10/ 5,11/ 1/ 7/ 2,3,8

OVERVIEW: ROYAL DAN (9) gained a nice trail but chased hard when second behind Naked Ambition in a slick mile rate of 1.56.5 at Melton last outing. He has been placed in seven of his eight starts to date and should take beating against this line up. EBONYS AVENGER (10) is a genuine Metropolitan performer so she appears to be well placed under these conditions. She finished fifth behind Arcee Phoenix (1.53.8) in the Maori Mile on January 06 and was fourth in the Derby Royale FFA at her next attempt so she should be competitive here. EXALTED (11) is stepping up in class but has always shown great potential and is starting to put it altogether. She worked forward to find the lead and won a heat of the Breed For Speed Silver series with ease at Bendigo last week so she cannot be underestimated. HEPHAESTUS PHOENIX (5) was resuming since an unplaced effort in the 2022 Breeders Crown Final when he attempted to lead throughout and was gunned down late at Melton last week. He should be fitter from that run and is worth an investment. EARLY SPEED: 5 (possible leader), 1,2,6,7 RATINGS: 9/ 10/ 5,11/ 1/ 7/ 2,3,8

Race comment
OVERVIEW: ROYAL DAN (9) gained a nice trail but chased hard when second behind Naked Ambition in a slick mile rate of 1.56.5 at Melton last outing. He has been placed in seven of his eight starts to date and should take beating against this line up. EBONYS AVENGER (10) is a genuine Metropolitan performer so she appears to be well placed under these conditions. She finished fifth behind Arcee Phoenix (1.53.8) in the Maori Mile on January 06 and was fourth in the Derby Royale FFA at her next attempt so she should be competitive here. EXALTED (11) is stepping up in class but has always shown great potential and is starting to put it altogether. She worked forward to find the lead and won a heat of the Breed For Speed Silver series with ease at Bendigo last week so she cannot be underestimated. HEPHAESTUS PHOENIX (5) was resuming since an unplaced effort in the 2022 Breeders Crown Final when he attempted to lead throughout and was gunned down late at Melton last week. He should be fitter from that run and is worth an investment. EARLY SPEED: 5 (possible leader), 1,2,6,7 RATINGS: 9/ 10/ 5,11/ 1/ 7/ 2,3,8
