Daily Racing Tips – Saturday, April 26

Legacy Bound made a big impression on debut and he looks destined for bigger and better things.

Stepping out over 1200m at Ballarat, the son of Ole Kirk took up the running, he travelled sweetly and pulled away from them over the final part to score by just under four lengths.

He looked to be doing it on raw ability and whilst this a big step up in grade, he’ll be better for the experience.

Barrier three should see him awarded all the favours and he gets the services of Mark Zahra.

Harlem Queen has been placed in both of her runs this preparation and she looks beautifully placed here under the set weights conditions.

From nine starts, the Nathan Doyle trained filly is yet to finish further back than fourth and she stamped herself as a serious racehorse last campaign putting together back to back wins before a strong effort to finish second in the Flight Stakes behind star filly Lady Shenandoah.

She then went onto to contest both the Spring Champion Stakes and VRC Oaks, where she finished fourth on each occasion.

She was powering home from the tail last start in the Emancipation and the low draw here can see her settle within striking distance.

Port Lockroy hasn’t been far away in two runs back this campaign, both of which have been at Group One level, and he looks ready to peak with the drop back in grade.

Resuming in the George Ryder, the Better Than Ready gelding settled in the second half of the and field and finished off nicely behind the likes of Gringotts and Fangirl.

He then stepped out in the Doncaster where he was always wide but still fought gamely to finish just 1.3 lengths off Stefi Magnetica.

Winner of the Railway Stakes late last year, he’s proven himself a class horse and he’s sure to find this easier than what he’s been contesting of late.

Ryan Maloney will do the steering for Annabel Neasham and Rob Archibald, and if he can find cover early off the wide gate, he’ll be strong late.

Movin’ Out has just had the three starts on Australian soil and was quick to find the winners’ stall as she cruised to victory last start in the Mornington Guineas.

The former Kiwi had three runs in her homeland, securing a third placing in the Group 1 NZ Thousand Guineas, before making the journey across the ditch.

She was solid when kicking off in the Phar Lap Stakes and was lucky to stay on her feet after racing keen and clipping heels in the Vinery.

The way she surged to the line last time suggests she’ll relish getting out to 2000m again and she draws to enjoy a cosy run throughout under Ben Melham.
