MINING LEGEND (8) finished ninth over 7f21yards at Bunbury at his most recent appearance on November 7. Lines up. For the first time for trainer neil dellar. Looks a winning chance. SCOTTISH LAIRD (10) was never in contention last time over 1m1/4f at Doomben when he finished ninth, beaten 10 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. BLATANT DISARRAY (12) resumes from a lay-off of seven months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 7f at Belmont Park. Should present well following a recent trial win. One of the leading chances. YAKYAK (11) is a 23-start maiden finding it tough to win but has been in the placings at her last two runs, finishing third most recently over 1m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be thereabouts.
