Trainer Lucky Houdalakis sends out Royal Force in Race 7.
He ran on well when winning over this course and distance last time.
The son of Heavenly Blue has shown that he has class about him.
Piere Strydom retains the ride and from his good draw of two, he should take a power of beating.
Night Vigil from the Stuart Pettigrew stable takes her place in Race 9. She is better than her last start over 1200m.
She won her only attempt over this course and distance, in her penultimate run. If finding the form of that outing, she should notch up her fifth-career victory.
Raymond Danielson, Diego de Gouveia and Jason Gates are not riding today.
