Royal Warranty goes handicapping for the first time having won a maiden over 1m2f back in May. Perspicace is another handicap debutant with claims if forgiven a poor effort last time and Billy Blue may yet be capable of scoring off his current mark dropped in class. GOLDEN JOURNEY also drops down a grade after a close-up fourth over 1m3f here and he gets the speculative vote racing off the same mark today.. Mishko, By Jupiter, Fresh Kingdom and Fighting Back are all others worthy of a second glance in what looks something of a lottery.
