Expecting Inquisitive Legend to take up the running with Scholl Deep and Shehasattitude close at hand. INQUISITIVE LEGEND (9) led all the way to win with a bit in hand first-up recently over this course and distance. Lightly raced filly who has returned a better horse this prep and is ready for this tougher assignment. LULUMON (3) had to pull out all stops to just get the prize in a keenly contested 1200m maiden here 18 days ago. Doesn't know how to run a bad race so expect her to be in the finish again. Backmarker MAJOR ORE (6) won on debut here two runs back and is capable of figuring in the finish. EXTREME SPIRIT (1) returns from a 30-week spell. Recent trial winner who is worth keeping safe with blinkers on for the first time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Competitive race to close proceedings - playing the exotics around 9,3,6,1.
