    Race Analysis

    FLORAL LEGEND (7) led throughout last start to score an effortless 6 lengths win over 6f at Atherton. Should measure up again. GERALDINE'S WISH (9) wound up strongly last time out to finish 0. 7 lengths adrift in third over 6¼f at this track when returning from a lay-off. Krysten Swaffer goes well on this five-year-old and is back on top. Fitter and a likely improver. FIRST MAN (2) returns from a lay-off of six months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished fourth at Gatton over 5½f when when resuming last time in work. Placed in a recent trial. Comes here with definite top-three claims. ESSAY WINE (6) accounted for a maiden field over 6¼f at this track last start, finishing a head ahead of the nearest rival. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with Sean Cormack who was on board last start. Harder task ahead this time but can measure up.
