Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 22)    

They should roll along at a decent clip in a true test for the milers. LE LEGIONNAIRE (9) won well over this course and distance last start when sent out as the favourite. He raced up on the speed and found extra when it was needed. Rates well in this line-up to repeat the dose. BIG UNIT (11) has decent recent form lines to his credit, including a close-up fourth of 11 here last start over 1400m. He will relish the extra 200m on offer today and should be finishing in the top-three. FLY FUTURA (2) is racing well this prep. He has won once and finished third twice from four starts on this course. He finished third of 12 here last start over 2000m and from his good draw of two looks well placed to return to winning form. AUGUSTA BLUE (1) resumed from a spell last start over 1400m at this track and should have finished much closer to the winner as he had no luck in the running. He has won once and finished third once from as many starts over this course and distance. He has drawn the inside gate and in a fitter state can place.
