LEGAL COUNSEL ought to make a bold bid in defence of his title after an encouraging comeback 2nd in a 1400m Grade 3 six weeks ago. Stablemates and Grade 1 winners NOTE TO SELF and SEE IT AGAIN resume after respective absences but have the class to play leading roles. The latter has a formidable record racing fresh after a break so could be hard to beat even under 63kg. CHASINGTHERAINBOW has an unbeaten course-and-distance record and should be more competitive over this trip after a much-needed 1400m season pipe-opener. BEWARE and LA PULGA also have earning potential in receipt of weight.
