Group 2 placegetter DEEPOUR (3) finished 11th two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 6¾f at Doomben, beaten only half a length after being in contention on the turn. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. Group 3 placegetter LEGAL ESPRIT (1) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.1 lengths adrift in second over 6f at Eagle Farm when returning from a break. Solid prospects. Group 3 placegetter ATMOSPHERE (8) turned in a good performance last time over 6f at Doomben, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in sixth after he was up on the pace all the way. The extra journey should play into his hands. Likely to play a major role. ESSONNE (4) finished second last start over 1m at Eagle Farm when she worked home well, beaten 0.8 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Nicely placed to take this out.
