SAF - KENILWORTH   03 May 2026
 
GOING:

LEGAL EAGLE STAKES 1800m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 21)    

Expecting a genuine tempo. VIVA'S LIBERTE (3) has strong figure for this. Grade 1 placed two back then fourth in Grade 3 company latest. Overdue and gets chance. TENPENNY (7) was a Listed winner of a small field two back then stakes placed again latest. Hard to fault recent form and rates highly. Big chance. LA PULGA (4) is a last start winner and saves best for this course and distance. Can get the job done again. LANDOFTHERISINGSUN (6) goes well fresh and has placed 2/3 this course and distance. Solid top-three proposition.
