VRC ST LEGER
On form, GANBARE (1) is clearly the one to beat. Two starts back he was 4th, beaten 1.3 lengths in the G1 Rosehill Guineas behind Riff Rocket. He struggled in testing conditions in the Derby but firmer ground will suit. He just needs to run the trip out and has a very good stable to prepare him for that. CHEROKEE BRAVE (4) has the right grounding for this. He was good in third last start in a good staying test at Caulfield. Will have no issue with the trip and should be hard to hold out. ALMA RISE (12) is the one with upside. Good on debut, she was dominant over 2000m at Pakenham last start, albeit in maiden grade. Lack of seasoning perhaps her biggest issue. AHURIRI (11) should have no issue with this trip and rates an each-way hope. IMPUNITY (5) next best.
