Royal Opportunity is trying winners for the first time today after breaking her maiden back on July 16. Shows 2 works since that day, with one of them being a very sharp 47 and change 4 panel work that was the 3rd best of 49 that day. Clement looks to have her sitting on go and is having a much better meet than Bond. Clement is hitting at 25% winners from 20 starters while Bond has yet to produce a winner at the meet.

Would be no surprise at all to see RO finish ahead of Hostess today, but I may hold out for a better price than currently offered.

Smartly held off and didn't make the bet...Hostess finished ahead of RO
