Connections of Legani will be hoping that a visor will spark enough improvement for their charge to take advantage of some good looking terms but with some reservations about whether he'll handle conditions we turn to BLUE NOODLES to win this seller with Zefirelli also on the shortlist. The pick is the highest rated in this field and has also been in a bit of form. He found just one too good in this company last time and with some soft ground form hinting he'll go in this bog he should run well. Legani receives enough weight from the pick to put him on favourable terms according to his official mark. That said his recent form is poor and his sire's liking for testing conditions isn't always pasted on to his offspring. Zefirelli should handle the conditions so it's feasible he could run better than the weights should allow while Stand In Flames is also not adverse to getting his toe but looks to have a bit to find at the weights. It's a tricky race to call but Blue Noodles looks the percentage pick.
