Newmarket Race 2 - Tattersalls Online Royal Lodge Stakes (Group 2)
FIRST LAW (2) Bold effort to win by 3/4L last start at Haydock and will try to take advantage of the draw. Flying this campaign with 2 wins from as many runs. Must respect. BURNING UP (1) Was eating up the ground late when winning last run at Haydock but up in grade. Has not missed this campaign with 2 wins from as many runs. Goes close. QUICKEN AWAY (6) Set the pace when winning by a margin of 1L last run at Goodwood but matched against tougher rivals. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Goes very close. QUEST FOR STARS (5) Tidy effort when 3rd last time at Leopardstown and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Jockey Billy Loughnane and trainer Charlie Appleby should be taken seriously together. Include in chances.

Finished with purpose when winning last run at Haydock but facing stiffer opposition. Looks very sharp this preparation with 2 wins from 2 runs and dropping weight. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Jumped at $9.00 and average performance when 7th last start at Curragh but good career start. R L Moore rates highly. Should be going forward early. Very competitive this campaign. Needs a lot of luck to figure in the finish.

Tidy run when 3rd last time at Leopardstown and promising career start. Billy Loughnane and Charlie Appleby deserve serious consideration as a team. Value play.

Set the tempo to win by 1L last run at Goodwood but racing in stronger company. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Price in this race is tempting to get involved.
