A keen early contest with Achaeus and Crafty Effort leading from Godzilla. LEGATUS (1) looped the field then found the line well to get up for third when resuming over this course and distance a fortnight ago. Faces a similar assignment today so with that run under the belt he is going to prove difficult to hold out. GODZILLA (4) has been brought south by the Snowdens after some decent efforts at the NSW provincials. On trial at this distance but should get all the favours from the inside draw. MAGADAN (2) made it three minor placings in a row when he edged Legatus out of second over this track and distance recently. Has been up for a while so might not have any more to offer but still appeals on an each-way basis. REAL ALLIANCE (3) warmed to the task late to get up for second over 1400m at Pakenham last start. Drops 6kgs with the claim and looks ready for this trip. STARK RAVING (8) will improve after a modest first-up effort here last time out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Legatus.
