Genuine tempo with I'm Keefe and Nazorian leading the way. GEEGEES LEGACY (7) has placed at the last two, the latest racing on speed and going down narrowly. Yet to win here but has four minors and has the speed to take advantage of the good draw. Should take catching again. ETHICAL DILEMMA (3) got home late over 1400m at Longfords last time in a better run. Well weighted with the claim and should be winding up strongly. CAPABELLE (11) finished out of the money two starts back then she got a long way back and was beaten 10 lengths when seventh over 800m at Longford eight days ago. Better than last run and has a good record course and distance. I'M KEEFE (9) is fitter and can do much better. Best form stacks up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Geegees Legacy.
