The pace looks strong from the outset. LEGAL COUNSEL (2) is the one to beat here. Won the Grade 3 Cape Mile here last time and can only be improved. Won three of four starts this circuit and expected to go close. CAPTAIN WEST (6) is a speedy galloper well placed here. Plenty to like about his prospects and will give a sight. I SALUTE YOU (7) is fitter and should progress sharply from that first-up run. Winning rider goes back aboard. HIS MAJESTY (5) is the interesting runner. Five-year-old entire facing the starter for the first time. Out of Group 3 winner Czabo. Top rider aboard and worth keeping very safe.
