Verdict

LEGACY BAY (1) has run out of track over 5 ½f and 6f in two goes this prep. Both races have rated well and she has shaped as well as any. Now she gets to 7f around the Lakeside which was the stage for her peak and win last campaign and she can repeat the feat this time around. STAGE 'N' SCREEN (2) has a similar look in the form book. Placed in both spins this time and with past ratings that jump off the page a bit. COLOUR OUR WORLD (6) will have to do more to follow up the Warrnambool win but she has been better over further than 6f in the past which paints the fresh win in a nice light. DRONE ATTACK (5) is racing well and JUST JENNI (11) shaped well when resuming at big odds and might have a knock out chance.
