ROYAL JEWEL pulled it out of the fire when getting off the mark over fences here last month, battling well to regain the upper hand close home after a mistake at the second-last looked as though it may prove costly. He pulled well clear of the rest with the runner-up that day and this 5 lb higher mark should be within reach. King Arise has done nothing at all wrong since switched to fences and he won't go down without a fight, while likely improver Barrabooka is best of the rest.
