ROYAL MELODY has been in good form of late and can register her second career victory by taking this fillies handicap. The selection was a winner on good-to-soft on her penultimate start and having ran well off this mark last time can get the better of Fastnet Spin who carries a penalty for a recent success and is usually held up in her races. Accomplice can claim third with the return to the forecast soft ground likely to suit.
