Red Legend silk
Red Legend

T: M N Houdalakis
Stepped up on his last two starts; not beaten far last month; edging up the ratings; easy to see him making an impression despite moving up in class and there is potential to save ground from stall two.

Signs of improvement 16 days ago when beaten 3l into second at 25-1 in a maiden plate; best form so far in last two starts and career moving upwards; assuming he steps up from most recent effort then is a very interesting runner.

Verdict

Future Knight might have a say, and Red Legend should be in the mix from a decent draw. However, HAT TRICK OR TREAT is a firm selection. He is taken to come out on top off the back of his latest effort.
