FormscanBy Tom Weekes - ROYAL SCHOLAR has an excellent record at this venue and might defy a 6lb hike for winning for the second time, over CD recently. His only disappointing run this winter was in December, when he became upset in the stalls. No Show also has stalls woes, having been slowly away on his last two runs. He lost considerable ground leaving the stalls on January 19 and while he did extraordinarily well to finish second in the race, needs to break well today, reverting to a mile. Take My Hand beat the selection to win in November but was well enough held on subsequent starts. Liquid Luck raced over middle-distances to gain an initial 80 rating and while he won over seven furlongs in early-January, disappointed at this distance subsequently. Miracles In May is a dual winner who ran well when second last month while Koybig was behind the selection recently and continues in good form. Sincerest represented her country twice in the Racing League last year and while capable, has a long absence to overcome and might be better on turf.
