Forecasts

Kelpies Myth (7/2), The Character (7/2), Royal Reserve (4/1), Wot A Shot (5/1), Manamite (10/1), Great Colaci (10/1), Sword Of Fate (16/1), West Coast Lass (18/1), Kalaniti (28/1)

Verdict

ROYAL RESERVE won with plenty in hand at Newcastle, never stronger than at the finish, and although this tighter track may not play to his strengths he simply looks too well handicapped to ignore. He can go in again before the handicapper starts to catch up with him. Lucinda Russell's other runner, Kelpie's Myth, might be the danger, With Sword Of Fate likely to set a good pace, that will help Kelpies Myth settle and he can stay on for the runner-up spot. West Coast Lass may do better back at a track she likes, and Wot A Shot should play a part too.
  1. Royal Reserve
  2. Kelpies Myth
