Like any time entering a roundabout you stop and then go depending on traffic in the roundabout coming through on your left. An easy move when there is no one. Being patient and waiting for traffic in the roundabout is a common rule. Once clear, you can make that early cut into the far left. Like always I would watch other cars to see what they may do, and go as soon as it is determined that they're turning right before continuing in the RAB.

We had a similar but tighter maneuver in Hawaii where I lived. No roundabout, but it involved turning right and crossing a short solid line through 1 lane to get into the left turn lane. It was only about a 2-car length area to work with, and 2 traffic lights to get through. Once you knew about the maneuver you could proceed when clear with no problem. But it was always questionable as far as technical legality. This Morse one isn't because of the early dotted line.
