JOCKEY Comments:
Corne Orffer was brimming with confidence when asked about Captain America. “He has taken his prep very well and is looking wonderful. I am not sure about my tactics but I will see how he comes out of the gates and how he wants to run. His prep has gone 100% well and he is as well as can be. I am the most confident I have been about getting the better of Legal Eagle.”

TRAINER Comments:
Trainer Brett Crawford is having a great season and he will be hoping that Captain America finally downs Legal Eagle. “Captain America is doing very well and I am very happy with him. His last run was only 3 weeks ago and everything has remained as it should be”. When asked about the tactics that might be used Brett said,” we will have to see how the race pans out but the tactics we used last time did not work and I think we will have to use different tactics this time,” said Brett.

MAGIC TIPS (Winning Form) Comment:
Should be a top contender for top honours. Finished third in this contest 12 months ago.

Verdict: Getting closer to 1 each time, obvious contender.
