Has some handy form at the gardens and was placed at her only start here over this trip although she was well beaten in average time, prefer others.

Struggled at bit recently although she has won here from the rails in 31.21 and is capable of improving in this from the handy draw.

Resuming after failing at Bathurst on January 16, having her first try at 535m but has good early pace and is likely to be prominent throughout.

It's been a long time since she's won but her last two placings here from inside draws were handy efforts, worth including in the exotics.

He's another whose wins are generally well spaced but he's racing very consistently at present and can handle wide draws, has each way claims.

Hasn't really done a great deal since arriving from Northern NSW, needs to improve and is an outside place chance at very best against these.

Average beginner whose two wins were both in easier class at Lithgow, if he gains a start he'll get to far back to be a serious threat.

Analyst Comments:
One of the days hardest races with nothing really standing out. ROYAL ARCH (1) has never raced at Richmond or over longer sprints, however he does have early pace and for that reason alone he's the on top pick. He's no good thing though with ROCK SISTER (30, ELLE NETTE LEE (8) and BABY SKEETA (6) all capable of winning without surprising.
