DEAUVILLE LEGEND (8) has a profile similar to recent Cup winners Rekindling and Cross Counter. Has gone from strength-to-strength over the UK season and his win the Great Voltigeur at York last time makes for top reading. The last five winners of the Voltigeur have gone on to win at the top level and Deauville Legend looked capable of making that six as he stormed away to win with authority. Had Cox Plate third in the same spot there giving the form a nice look here in Australia. From the locals, MONTEFILIA (4) was the eye catcher when fourth in the Caulfield Cup. Big run and her heavy track Ranvet Stakes win says rain will be of little concern to her. YOUNG WERTHER (11) could be sneaking under the radar. Placed in the Turnbull and now meets Gold Trip 3.5kg better at the weights from when they hit the line together in the Cox Plate. GOLD TRIP (1) didn't have the smoothest passage there and was terrific in the Caulfield Cup. Soft ground and two miles looks a good scenario for him.
