GOING: G(4)

Danehill Stakes 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Strong tempo with Legacy Bound and Shining Smile leading the way over Mcgaw. TENTYRIS (1) clearly on top, resuming for his second campaign. He was excellent when just missing in the G1 Blue Diamond at his third start before going to Sydney and beating the likes of Wodeton and Beiwacht in the G2 Todman Stakes before an issue ruled him out of starting near-favourite in the Golden Slipper. Very well suited at the set weights here, he can put his hand up as one of the horses to beat in the Coolmore next month. LEGACY BOUND (4) kept his unbeaten record intact with a gritty win first up in the Poseidon Stakes here at 1100m. Fancy the dash home didn't suit, up to 1200m can see him improve quickly. MY GLADIOLA (8) won the Cap D'antibes in faster time than Legacy Bound on the same day and has to be respected. ROSBERG (6) is the big query. The big spruik landed on debut to win the Mckenzie but that wasn't the strongest race. No doubt he can elevate but he'll need to. TYCOON STAR (2) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Tentyris & Legacy Bound.

He is resuming after a seven months break. Not seen since winning by 0.7 len Randwick G2 Todman March 8 over 1200m defeating Wodeton with 56kg at $8.50. On debut fifth of 8 at Sandown-Lakeside in the G3 Chairman's Stk February 1 over 1000m, 3 len behind Inkaruna with 57kg at $7.50. Rates highly and could be too good.

Recent form sound. Last start sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 8 at this track in the LR Poseidon Stakes on September 13 over 1100m, 0.8 len behind Legacy Bound carrying 58.5kg at $2.30. Before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.75 len at Caulfield G3 Mcneil August 30 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Mcgaw carrying 58.5kg at $4.80. Should be thereabouts again.

Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Last start raced on the pace when 3rd of 9 at Caulfield in the G3 Mcneil on August 30 over 1200m, slow going 2.5 len behind Tycoon Star carrying 58.5kg at $4. The race before that won by a neck at Caulfield G3 Vain Stks August 16 over 1100m in soft going defeating Tycoon Star with 56kg at $3.60. Has a bit to find, place claims.

Second run back. First-up after five months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at this track LR Poseidon Stakes September 13 over 1100m defeating Navy Pilot with 58.5kg at $6. Previously second-up won by 2.75 len at Morphettville G3 Breeders Stks April 26 over 1200m defeating Steel Trap with 57.5kg at $1.85. Hard to knock and 1200m suits better.
