FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Having stayed on late when third over half-a-mile shorter here last month. KIR ROYAL BLUE can register a first success. In a race where the eventual winner stole a march on her rivals and, was never for catching, the Liam Burke-trained gelding did well to fill the frame. A lightly raced son of Stormy River, he should be capable of further improvement now faced with a greater test of stamina. Knockraha Eagle, who finished fourth over course and distance last time, should be involved once again. Handicap debutant Skyscraper is one that should be watched closely in the market given his shrewd connections.
