Verdict

Both Royal Bajan and Imaginary Diva scored over 5f last week and both carry 6lb penalties as a consequence. THE STRIG makes more appeal as he won over course and distance last month and was beaten only a length in a higher grade handicap than this on his latest start at the track. Johnny Splash has something to find with the selection on earlier running here and Royal Trix is preferred to Volito as the former drops back in distance.
