Meiner Legacy gapped his rivals by over three lengths in his win at Cranbourne last week and has clearly pulled up well enough to go around again on the quick backup.
Aaron Purcell’s five-year-old was strong to the line the start prior at Sandown when fourth, while he also gave a good sight for third here at The Valley earlier in his prep.
His recent win suggests the step up to the 3000m won’t be an issue and I love the fact Daniel Stackhouse has retained the ride.
Stroll looks ready to win again off a month’s break.
She was simply too good up front last time out in the Mode Stakes, leading all the way and fending off a late challenge from Chinny Boom to get the job done narrowly.
The form out of that race has been strong with three going on to win since, and I think she’ll have no problem getting to the front and making her own luck on the speed from barrier two.
Brigantine has burned punters on several occasions, but he should give his usual honest effort here in The Buffering.
He was a good winner first-up over 1200m at Randwick and has gone on to find the placings in a couple of tougher races since.
The tempo was against him in the Razor Sharp, but he still fought on well to finish just a length off.
He’s on debut here at Doomben but is tough to knock on recent form.
Boldinho is attempting 1200m for the first time in the VOBIS Gold Carat, but recent runs suggest he might be looking for it.
He was last seen making up good ground at Pakenham to begin the month on the back of two impressive efforts at Flemington and here at The Valley.
He’s drawn to get a dream run from barrier 3 and gets in well with 3kg’s off under Ethan Brown.
