Keen to see LEGACY BOUND (4) again. He's a son of Ole Kirk who was dominant on debut at Ballarat, scoring by four lengths in good time over 1200m. Don't think the winning standard is too high of the more exposed ones and out to 1400m should only suit better. No surprise to see him met with good early support. JUST KICK (13) ran second in a small field on debut at Pakenham over 1100m, finding the line nicely in good late sectionals. Will relish this trip, don't underestimate. PRESTIGE OLE (1) brings the best 'form' into this having won a Vobis race over this route last time out. Not convinced that's a great line but he has to be a chance. MALDINI (7) won well at Pakenham last time and should give a sight. WARRIOR SMILE (2) is in the mix.
