Expecting Righteous Legend to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. SWAG (9) missed a whisker at Ipswich and then was cruelled by a wide gate when beaten 3L this track/trip in a rich Magic Millions feature. Draws awkwardly again but will find this much more to his liking and Ben Thompson is engaged. RIGHTEOUS LEGEND (3) resumed at Beaudesert and raced forward beaten 1.5L. He draws low and has more up his sleeve. Taking on a better field but he has each-way claims. PAPER DOLL (12) is close to breaking through after her 1.3L defeat over 1400m at this track. Has her share of ability and should be right in it. KOOLATAH QUEEN (16) has raced well at Stakes level and can show more third-up with the blinkers on for the first time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Swag.
