Got The Feeling

Behind Errol Flynn when a respectable runner-up last month in a conditions race; wins have come at a lower level and quite a while since he tasted success; probably unlikely to trouble the principals as facing a tougher assignment this time.

Behind Chronicle King when last in the Daily News 2000 at Greyville 36 days ago; proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a fourth career win); down in class; has a chance from a draw which could make things easier.

Out of the money and beaten 11l in the Empress Club Stakes in April; on target twice in her last four outings; has never won a race of this value; others appeal more despite this looking a little easier than last time.

Verdict

Golden Operator is considered although might not get the trip, and World Of Royalty is an interesting contender with an ideal draw. However, ERROL FLYNN is a firm choice. Based on his most recent success. He is the form pick and given his current winning run, he has every chance of going in again.
