Verdict

INQUISITIVE LEGEND (10) has not run a bad race this prep, and she showed good early speed to finish second last start over 6f here just over 2 weeks ago. She has a superior gate this time, and in a similar field, she can go one better. REGAL JUDGEMENT (7) remained unbeaten in 2 starts over this trip with an impressive win by well over 3 lengths here 17 days ago. He steps up in class, but will carry 6lbs less, so he can repeat the dose. LITTLE COINTREAU (6) has been consistent with back-to-back placings, most recently finishing second over 1m at this track as the favourite. He looks close to breaking through and gets his chance in a suitable race. BOLD SMUGGLER (1) beat a few of his rivals here last time out, and with only an extra 3lbs to carry, he will be hard to hold out again. AMBASSADORS (5) is also in solid form with consecutive runner-up efforts, including one on the Gold Coast Poly just over 7 weeks ago. This is easier, and from the ace draw, he can't be ruled out.
