Expecting the Jim Taylor trained Local Legend to perform well in today Belmont trials. The Rory's Jester 4YO gelding last raced in the R.J. Peters Stakes (Group 3) in Nov 2005. He's a winner of 7 races from 22 starts and has gone well fresh in the past, so worth a watch when he returns to the track officially.

The runs of Sir Viv, Zoometric and Exchequer on Saturday suggest that all 3 will be in the finish of this race. Sir Viv made it 5 straight by winning the 2200 metre welter at Ascot on Saturday, whilst Zoometric finished a close 2nd, just ahead of Exchequer. Zoometric and Exchequer meet Sir Viv better at the weights on Sunday but you would expect Sir Viv to be improved by the run, his first beyond 1800.

Danny Blue looks nicely weighted although did notice he was scratched from Saturdays race, hopefully there's no problem.

On the subject of well weighted, Main Stage is also nicely placed in the Pinjarra Cup.

Last time he met Zoometric he gave that horse 4.5kgs in weight, on Sunday just 1kg. Also met Daka's Gem on equal weights when last they met, on Sunday he receives 3.5kgs from that horse!

Both Zoometric and Daka's Gem will no doubt be fancied in the market. It will be interesting to see what price will be on offer for Main Stage should he be a starter.

Surprised to see the return of the 2004 R.J. Peters Stakes winner Finito - thought he had retired. Hasn't raced since March 2005 (almost 12 months ago) when a well beaten conveyance in the Bunbury Stakes. Let's hope he can stay sound during this preparation.

No winners but a number of 2nds for the greys at Pinjarra Park Sunday - Morag (4th), Silver Deck (2nd), Our Vain Kingdom and Zorobo (both unplaced), Jay Marttiini (2nd), Hearnster and Dancing Tiger (both unplaced), Silver Seam (2nd), Real Halo (scr), Marshall Vic (unplaced), Moondance Magic (2nd) and Sedaka Pass (unplaced).

The fastest heat winner yesterday was Index Case, the lightly raced 4YO won his heat easily with plenty in reserve.

Originally raced in NSW has had one start in WA - beaten fav in a C4 at Pinjarra December 05. Excuses that day as he missed the kick and received an early check. Danny Morton trains which is a plus. Might be worth a watch first few starts this time around.
