JAKE THE GREAT (4) fought on for third last start over 1106m at Legacy Downs (Dirt), making it three minor placings in a row. Will be handy in running despite the tricky draw. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is one of the main contenders. BIG HEARTED FACTOR (1) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 6 lengths when fifth over 1106m at Legacy Downs eight days ago. Has the ability to take care of this field. OBVIOUSLY TOO (3) settled well back then made some inroads and finished 4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1408m at Legacy Downs six days ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Among the chances. RUN FOR MATTY (5) produced another moderate effort last start when 7 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1408m at Legacy Downs. Well placed to bounce back.
