Eagle on top

Sean Tarry-trained Legal Eagle has been installed 16-10 favourite by the sponsors to win his third consecutive WSB Green Point Stakes at Kenilworth on Saturday week but the unbeaten Rainbow Bridge is only a point behind on 17-10.

Undercover Agent, winner of the Rising Sun Gold Challenge and of his 1200m Pinnacle Stakes reappearance race a month ago, is a 5-1 chance while last season’s Cape Derby winner Eyes Wide Open and Guineas winner Tap O’ Noth are both 9-1 chances.

Justin Snaith’s Vodacom Durban July winner Do It Again is quoted at 14-1 while Hat Puntano, who won last year’s Charity Mile for Mike and Adam Azzie and joined Joey Ramsden a month ago, is a 28-1 outsider.

Candice Bass-Robinson will be three-handed in the Southern Cross Stakes on the same card with 5-2 favourite Magical Wonderland, 8-1 shot Freedom Charter and Nous Voila who looks a big price at 14-1.

Snowdance, second favourite at 11-2, is set to miss the race with Snaith explaining: “She runs in the 1 400m Pinnacle on the same day. I only put her in the Southern Cross so that I have a back-up should they cancel the Pinnacle.”

Stable companion Strathdon is 7-2 favourite to repeat last year’s win in the Cape Summer Stayers Handicap.
