Plenty of pressure primarily from Via Rose, Big Shot Legend and Mellencamp. BIG SHOT LEGEND (12) bounced straight back to form this morning with a solid chasing third at Gilgandra. Peaking now fourth-up and gets in well with the claim again. Bold showing anticipated. HALLE BEE (13) was poised to strike when resuming last time but just lacked a fitness edge late. Better for the hitout and will appreciate the rise in trip. Can give this a big shake. SILENT SERENADE (7) didn't give her rivals a sniff last start at Walcha when leading pillar-to-post. Will have to use that early dash again to overcome the wide draw and will take plenty of catching if left alone. LUCKY OZZIE (19) has returned in good order this prep and looks ready to peak off the back of two minor placings, though he will need some luck from the wide draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Big Shot Legend to win.
