GOING: G(4)

TAB We're On 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Only a small field but Shining Smile, Military Tycoon and Legacy Bound will ensure a genuine tempo. LEGACY BOUND (1) resumes as the class horse in this field. He'd promised plenty as a 2yo, resuming with a narrow win over this route in the Poseidon Stakes first up last time in, ending the campaign with a great third-placing to Tentyris & My Gladiola in the G1 Coolmore Stud Stakes. Big weight here, but if he's wound up he might just be too fast. MILITARY TYCOON (4) was thrown in the deep end last start in the G1 Lightning Stakes, outclassed there off a good run fresh. She can bounce back strongly. BURMA STAR (3) resumes. He got over further last preparation but should be sharp enough here and be flying late. SHINING SMILE (2) resumes. He's been well placed to notch up 5 career wins but this could be his sort of level. VANGOGH BANKCHEQUE (7) resumes having shown good ability last time in, respecting. SUGGESTED PLAY: Legacy Bound to win.
