Good pressure from the outset with Highgarden, Presto Legacy and Lessoursdemacarons taking up the running over Lucky Meteor and Guadeloupe. LUCKY METEOR (5) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring dominantly over 1200m at this track. Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test this line-up. GUADELOUPE (1) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth and only 2.25 lengths from the winner at the end of 1200m after being prominent at the corner. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PRESTO LEGACY (12) showed good early speed last start over this track and trip before finishing second. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. VAYU (10) finished third last time over 1200m at this track. Will trim down following recent racing. Nicely placed to play a role in the finish.
