BLANC DE NOIR (1) well-bred Capitalist mare having her first run for the Mitch Beer yard. Finished in the minor money at all five starts and primed for this with the two solid trials. No excuses from the draw. GLENN'S LEGACY (5) handy gelding resuming who shapes as the main danger. Excellent debut from the wide gate when a game on pace second over 1000m at Wagga last May. Fitted with a close-up fourth in a trial over 900m at Canberra. Sits on the speed and will take holding out. KING'S EXCEED (6) King's Legacy gelding out of an Exceed And Excel mare on debut for the Beer yard. Strong through the line in his trial win over 800m at Kembla Grange. Has genuine top three claims. NOBLE RUBY (2) resumes after bumping into some handy types on the provincial tracks. Tuned up with the one soft trial when fourth over 800m at Kembla Grange. Claim helps and stays in the mix.
