Royal produces stunning display to take Dunne Memorial
The Puppy Derby champion possesses massive pace and, barring bad luck, always looked likely to come out on top. His starting price reflected this and he was sent to traps a 4-6 favourite. The Pa Fitzgerald trained star didn’t exactly flash from trap six, but he displayed plenty of dash to secure second spot before the corner.
The pace-setting duties were taken up by Mutual Decision, but he had no answer to the hot favourite as they straightened up into the back straight. Melodys Royal ran a superb second bend to enter the back straight in full stride and he soon shot to the front.
