|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A strong pace on the cards with Serpentine and Que Tempesta likely to roll along early. LAND LEGEND (14) French import who created a big impression at his first Australian start last prep when taking out the St Leger in good order over the 2600m here last October. Fitter now after two runs back and looks one of the leading chances. FUTURE HISTORY (11) tough gelding who gets down in the weights for this after finishing in the minor money at both runs back. Showed a ton of grit when sitting on the pace for a narrow second over 2000m in the G3 Naturalism Stakes at Caulfield on September 21. Brings strong figures here and no excuses from the draw. UNUSUAL LEGACY (21) lightly raced gelding with a ton of upside fourth up today. Faces his stiffest test after powering late when a narrow second over 1900m at Rosehill in BM88 grade last Saturday. Has no weight and expected to get the trip. QUE TEMPESTA (4) classy Victorian stayer who drops sharply in weight third up. Motored late with the 59kg when sixth in the G3 Naturalism over 2000m at Caulfield on September 21. Each way chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 14,11,21,4.
