Derby prospects in WA 1941 with Royal Standard and Stayer
The WA Derby frontrunners include Royal Standard and Stayer, both Olympian-bred, as top contenders for the 1941 classic. Royal Standard, carrying 8 10, is a robust Derby prospect with strong recent form including a quick win, while Stayer is sturdier on dam side and could claim the Derby with more stamina. Skyro, Royal Standard’s rival, is the standout in the Karrakatta Plate with unbeaten season and Olympia-bred merit. Ric James and Starry show pace, but Royal Standard and Stayer dominate suggestions for the Derby with several others like Sydney James and Balquidda competing for minor placings.
