STEVEN ROYES · BEN KENNEDY · 5yo Gelding

Returns from a lengthy lay-off with a Townsville trial win to recommend him, and his last-campaign form has genuine quality for this. He was last seen winning a BM64 at Canterbury by just under a length, leading and kicking strongly despite a lameness note, after a sound third there behind Dance To The Boom. Proven around 5f and looks the one to beat fresh.
