Solid tempo headed by Cracken Good Time and Empirestateofmind. UNITED LEGEND (4) bounced straight back to form last time at Balaklava when finishing a close fourth in a blanket finish. Drawn sticky but has the peaks to take care of them and races his best at this venue. RIKKI RIKKARDO (7) hasn't won for a long time but has been turning in some eye-catching finishes this prep. Could land in a tricky spot from the inside alley but if the gaps appear he can launch late. CARASHAN CHLOE (3) went amiss last start in the slop at headquarters but her form prior stacks right up. Willing to forgive. Similar story for CHARTIN (8) who was good fresh but hasn't quite been able to threaten in his last two. Is a two-time winner here. Not forgetting. SUGGESTED PLAY: United Legend to win.
