Randwick Race 8 - Darley Missile Stakes (G2)
GENERAL SALUTE (4) kept fresh after returning slick closing splits when third over 1200m in the G3 WJ Healy Stakes at Eagle Farm six weeks ago. Fitted with a solid Rosehill trial placing and look for him motoring late. Leading player. ROBUSTO (2) tough gelding retaining his zest for racing. Scored a well-deserved nose victory over 1500m in the LR Winter Challenge at Rosehill. Has fitness on his side and must be kept safe. WAR ETERNAL (8) loomed strongly when second to The Novelist over the 1300m at Rosehill last Saturday. Big jump in grade but must be kept safe at the good odds. BRUDENELL (5) resumes with residual fitness on his side. Has excellent figures over this track and trip and gets through the going. Trial win had merit and keep safe. ROMEO'S CHOICE (7) undefeated this time in and capable of taking a hand in the finish at the good price.
