Verdict

SWORD OF LEGACY (9) excellent return for the new yard when raced handy to secure second over 5f at Eagle Farm in the soft going. Comes back a level today and strips fitter from the inside gate. Hard to hold out. COMMEDIA (8) indicated a win was imminent when she raced handy from the good gate to run a narrow second over 5f at Ballina. Finds a suitable race from the good gate and expected to go close. IMMORTAL STORM (2) resumes from a lengthy break after finishing in the minor money at all four career starts. Back without a trial and has a strong SP profile. Nicely placed with the cross-over nose band going on. Keep safe. YESSPECIALLY (7) Paul Snowden trained three-year-old gelding by Yes Yes Yes from Beylando on debut. Recent trial winner in good style over 5f at Taree. Inside barrier will assist chances.
