Verdict
ROYALE JACKET is better than his last start over a sprint trip suggests. This distance will be more to his liking so a more competitive effort can be expected. ECHO OF THE WILD, MEGA AWESOME and SILVER COMET have scope for improvement and have shown enough to make their presence felt. STEEL PIER has stronger form in open company and was a game-in-defeat second over 1600m last time. A similar performance will make him hard to beat.
