Coolmore Legacy Stakes Tips
Positive Peace is a winner and made it five in a row last time, however, the weight difference and potential upside for Noire and Amangiri has me leaning toward that pair.
Amangiri was first-up and went 6.5 length quicker than standard which is identical to her first-up figure last campaign.
Second-up she went 7.9 lengths quicker than standard and in her previous campaign she produced a lower BM figure second-up, so I’m not anticipating a big spike in performance.
Noire was disadvantaged most last start by the track bias and she now has the weight swing in her favour while also being fifth-up over a mile which is a strong recipe for success.
Noire also profiles extremely well in regard to peak patterns with her best performances coming at her fifth, sixth and seventh runs in a campaign.
The Chris Waller-prepared Noire ticks all the boxes when it comes to peak patterns, mapping, weight and form on rain-affected going.
I have her mapped four pairs back and one off the fence which should give O’Hara every chance to get out wide and work home best.
