WHISKEY KISSES (4) remains a maiden however did indicate promise here over course and distance last week finishing just 1.5L third. There is more improvement to come and cannot be ruled out. Jim Goldie has found a bit of form with a handful of winners in recent weeks and WATER OF LEITH (1) brings plenty of experience though did struggle here behind the main selection. Needs a revival. MOUNT RUAPEHU (2) found things difficult returning to the turf this summer and looks best watched unless well supported. SUMMERSTORMS DREAM (7) performed favourably here during May. Not at the same level since and looks vulnerable among this company. Something for the Multiples: ROYAL DUKE (6)

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up ran second last of 11 at Haydock Park on May 21 over 1200m, on a slow track; 34 len behind There's A Chance carrying 59kg at $17. Second run from a spell ran last of 11 at Thirsk on June 16 over 1200m, 9 len behind Vingegaard with 57.5kg at $126. Hard to have on what we have seen since his return.

Second-up. First-up after two months ran second last of 9 at Musselburgh on June 30 over 1400m, 21 len behind Classy Clarets with 60kg at $29. Previously second-up ran second last in a small field at Catterick on April 22 over 1400m, 10 len behind Borjina carrying 57kg at $17. Fitter but hard to see her featuring.
