POPS LEGACY (3) finished midfield as favourite last start but did have to work from a wide barrier. Had been racing well prior and the better draw could see him produce his best. DRIVE TO THE BEACH (4) came from this barrier to finish less than 2 metres from the winner in third at this circuit and distance last week, his fourth placing from his last five starts. Deserves another win and this could be his chance. HAPPY REG (2) won from wider here three back and hasn't been far away since so is on the radar from a favourable draw. IM DESIRABLE (6) is in the mix after turning in a good effort last start to finish second at this venue.
