Robbie Griffiths is keen to see how the form from the Danehill Stakes stacks up again when the same group of sprinters reconvene in Saturday’s Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes at Flemington.

Legacy Bound finished fourth in the 1100m Danehill Stakes behind McGaw, My Gladiola and Tentyris, and all four will reappear over 1200m this weekend.

McGaw and Tentyris have both run since, with Tentyris coming out ahead on that occasion, but Griffiths believes circumstances last time disadvantaged Legacy Bound.

He noted that Legacy Bound raced on the slower inside strip and expects the Flemington track to play more evenly on Derby Day.

“He won first-up down the straight and he was good last start,” Griffiths said.

“In my opinion, they finished in order with how the track was playing that day, from widest first to us fourth, on the slower side.

“That’s how it appeared and that’s what everyone shared.

“Derby Day usually plays very fair… If that is the case, I would like to think we’re well-and-truly in the mix.”

Legacy Bound was unbeaten prior to the Danehill Stakes, having shown significant promise as a two-year-old.

Griffiths believes Saturday’s 1200m trip is more suitable than the shorter sprint distances he contested earlier this preparation.

Rain, however, is the one concern.

“Maybe from barrier four in a straight line, that would do me fine, but the wet is negative for us,” Griffiths said.

“All his wet form has been in trials, but on a different surface to Flemington.

“Since his last race, he’s had a nice little tick-over jump-out, and he galloped well on Monday.

“We’ve got the right horse, he’s in the right form and we just hope the little one percenters go our way on Saturday.”
